Santiago do Cacém Municipal Council Approves Family IMI and 0.5% IRS Return

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 15:57

The Municipal Council of Santiago do Cacém approved the application of the Municipal Property Tax (IMI) Family regime and the return of 0.5% of Personal Income Tax (IRS) to residents of the municipality. These fiscal measures aim to benefit the municipality's citizens.

The proposals approved by the council will now be submitted to the consideration and voting of the Municipal Assembly of Santiago do Cacém, which is the deliberative body responsible for validating the municipal executive's decisions. The municipality is located in the district of Setúbal.

The Family IMI allows for a reduction in the tax charged to property owners, while the return of 0.5% of IRS represents a direct fiscal benefit for resident taxpayers who opt for joint tax filing. Both measures aim to support local families and boost the territory's development.

Why this matters

Residents of Santiago do Cacém may benefit from IMI reductions and a partial IRS return, easing the family tax burden. The final approval still depends on the Municipal Assembly, but the measures demonstrate the executive's intention to prioritize family support policies and population settlement in the territory.
