The Stability Program for 2019-23 anticipates €31 million in additional tax revenues from the new maximum tax bracket for AIMI, applicable to Ratable Values (“VPT”) above €2 million. The Additional to Municipal Property Tax was first created in 2017 targeting luxury properties. Beyond the standard “IMI” assessment, Companies are charged AIMI at a rate of 0.4% on the sum of the Rateable Values of these properties. Residences held by entities in tax havens pay 7.5%. In the case of individual ownership, an AIMI rate of 0.7% is applied on “VPT” totals above €600,000 (or double this amount for married and cohabiting couples who opt for joint “IRS” declarations). When the “VPT” values exceed €1 million, the tax rate increases to 1%. The new bracket, created in the recent State Budget to be applied for the first time in 2019, foresees an AIMI tax rate of 1.5%, applicable to “VPT” amounts above €2 million.

2019, aimi, IMI, portugal, vpt, wealth tax

Established in 2017, “AIMI” is a supplementary property tax assessed on higher valued properties, based on the sum of all taxable “urban” real estate (“VPT”). This incremental levy is sometimes euphemistically referred to as a Portuguese Wealth Tax. Urban properties classified as “commercial, industrial or service” and “other” are exempt.

In 2019, AIMI rates are as follows:

Companies (non-residential use by owners/directors; otherwise same as Individuals):

0.4%    for total of rateable urban “VPT”s;

Individuals (for couples, double exempt value):

0.7%    When the total “VPT” value of all properties is between €600,000 and €1,000,000;

1%       For “VPT” real estate totals between €1,000,000 and €2,000,000;

1.5%    For “VPT” total exceeding two million euros (new in 2019).

Assessment of the Additional to IMI is calculated in June referring to real estate holdings on 01 January of each year. Payment is due in September.

As a relatively new tax, it is not surprising that many have been caught unaware of their liability to pay AIMI and, more importantly, how they can avoid the disturbing consequences. The additional assessment to IMI (Adicional Imposto Municipal Imobiliário) is sending shock waves to individuals and company owners who unwittingly find themselves under the weight of this added fiscal obligation.

Introduced in 2017, the Additional Municipal Property Tax (AIMI) produced less than 40% of the expected tax receipts as forecasted by the Ministry of Finance. Instead of the €130,000,000 as originally estimated by the Government, AIMI taxation will give rise to just €50,000,000, far below expectations.

Individuals who reside in tax havens and own residential property in Portugal are free from paying the 7.5% surcharge applied to the new Additional Municipal Property Tax (“AIMI”). Only companies domiciled in tax havens – offshore companies – are subject to the aggravated rate on the full ratable value (“VPT”) of residential properties. “AIMI” replaces Stamp Tax, which provided for the application of a tax rate of 1% on each property with a “VPT” greater than one million euros.

The Rates Supplement (AIMI) will be aggravated to 7.5% for properties registered in offshore companies. The measure is integrated with other changes to the State Budget for 2017. This alteration, together with other modifications to AIMI as well as lower than expected inflation, is intended to help pay for an extra €6 increase in basis pensions, as demanded by the coalition of left-wing parties.
