Plain language summary

Helps pensioners returning to Portugal pay less taxes for ten years.

More detailed explanation

The law reduces 50% of tax on pensions for those returning to Portugal for ten years. It applies to those becoming residents from 2026 and who have not been residents for five years. The Government must define rules to validate the return within 90 days. This prevents the same pensions from being taxed twice.
