Government: fair accounts allow extraordinary supplement for pensioners and IRS reduction

Guimarães, agora!10 September 2026 at 09:57

The Government will assign an extraordinary supplement to pensioners, progressively, up to a maximum value of 1,611.13 euros. The total amount planned for this support is approximately 400 million euros. This extraordinary supplement is part of a "fair accounts" strategy that the executive intends to implement.

The measure aims to support Portuguese pensioners through a payment that will be distributed progressively, meaning the amounts will be assigned according to each beneficiary's pension, until the established maximum limit is reached.

The article also refers to a reduction in IRS (Personal Income Tax) as part of this government strategy. This combination of support for pensioners and tax reductions is part of a broader set of policies that the Government intends to implement. The announcement of these measures comes in a context of discussion about the justice and sustainability of public accounts in Portugal.
