Government shifts Single Circulation Tax payment model
The government has approved a change to the payment model for the Single Circulation Tax (Imposto Único de Circulação or IUC). Minister of the Presidency António Leitão Amaro announced that the tax will now be settled on fixed dates rather than being tied to the month of a vehicle's registration.
The IUC is the Imposto Único de Circulação (IUC), Portugal's annual vehicle circulation tax charged on cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. If you own or import a vehicle as an expat you must pay the IUC each year to the tax office (rates depend on age, engine size and emissions), and recent news says the payment date will be fixed on the calendar.
