Automatic IRS refunds paid in less than two weeks after submission

Context & Explainers
IRS Jovem is a tax benefit that provides a partial exemption on employment income for young workers aged 18 to 26 during their first five years of work. It helps young professionals retain more of their earnings by reducing their income tax (Imposto sobre o Rendimento de Pessoas Singulares) liability. As of 2024, these taxpayers are eligible for the automatic tax return system, simplifying the annual filing process.
The Tax Portal (Portal das Finanças) is Portugal's official online service where individuals and businesses access tax records, file returns, and make payments. On 6 February 2026 the Tax and Customs Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira or AT) used the portal to warn taxpayers about scam SMS messages falsely demanding payment to 'avoid seizure'; residents should ignore unsolicited payment links and check the portal or contact AT directly.
