CAP warns that the wine sector faces a crisis and demands extension of support to the entire country

CAP warned that the Portuguese wine sector faces a generalized crisis, not limited only to the Douro, and demanded from the Government the extension of the support announced for Douro winegrowers to the entire country. The confederation highlighted that the domestic market is under strong pressure due to the massive entry of Spanish wine, often without adequate customs control, and sold at prices that make it impossible for national producers to compete. CAP expressed solidarity with the Douro and welcomed the Government's measures, but stressed that the extension of support is essential for the entire sector.

Taxis can now operate as Uber and Bolt. What changed?

Since September 1, 2026, taxis in Portugal can operate through the TVDE regime, used by platforms like Uber and Bolt, thanks to Law No. 59/2026. This legislation allows operators and licensed vehicles as taxis to also provide TVDE services, as long as they meet the licensing requirements. Although the same vehicle can be enabled for both regimes, it cannot simultaneously benefit from the advantages of each one — when working as TVDE, it cannot pick up passengers on the street or use taxi ranks. The law also simplifies the process for taxi drivers to obtain TVDE certification and introduces new rules, such as non-removable identification badges, possibility of video recording for security (with consent), and the elimination of the maximum cap for dynamic pricing. The new pricing rules for traditional taxis take effect in October 2026.

September is a test for companies' treasuries: taxes and contributions are concentrated in a single month

September represents one of the most demanding months in the Portuguese tax calendar for companies, concentrating multiple tax obligations in a short period of time. VAT for June and July (monthly regime) or for the second quarter (quarterly regime) must be declared by September 21 and paid by the 25th, while the second IRC advance payment is due on September 30. Adding to this pressure are withholding taxes and Social Security contributions, during a period when companies also begin preparing for the final quarter of the year. The article warns that the impact is particularly relevant for SMEs, where treasury management is frequently constrained by customer payment terms and already committed financial obligations, recommending that companies anticipate the calculation of all cash outflows to avoid surprises, default interest and fines.
