Context & Explainers
VAT is Value Added Tax (Imposto sobre o Valor Acrescentado), a consumption tax charged at each stage of production and sale; the standard mainland rate in Portugal is 23%. Parliamentary proposals to cut VAT on bottled gas from 23% to 6% would directly reduce consumer prices if approved.
