SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 16:00

With the return to school, purchases of school supplies, books, private tutoring, nurseries, and other education-related expenses begin. The article addresses the question of which of these expenses can be deducted in the IRS in Portugal. The topic arises in the context of the return to the school period, a time when families face various costs associated with their children's education. However, the article is incomplete, cutting off at the reference to "The rule...", making it impossible to present the complete information about the specific deduction rules applicable to these expenses.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers need to know exactly which education expenses can be deducted in the IRS to optimize their tax returns and avoid errors. This information is particularly relevant at the start of the school year, when families face greater education expenses. The article answers a practical and common question among taxpayers about family taxation.

Study points out gaps about the sea in tourism education in Portugal

A European study from the Code BLUE project reveals that Portugal is among five countries where skills related to sustainable blue economy are only partially integrated into tourism education, alongside Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and Spain. The research, with KIPT CoLAB as the Portuguese partner, identified gaps in marine ecosystem training, climate change adaptation, coastal zone governance, practical skills for sustainable tourism, and digital tools. The study proposes integrating short and flexible modules into existing courses, rather than creating new courses, using frameworks such as BlueComp, GreenComp, and DigComp to develop micro-credentials. The results were validated at national meetings bringing together education, businesses, and public institutions, and the next phase aims to transform these conclusions into practical learning content to support sustainable tourism in European coastal regions.
