IMT and Stamp Duty Portugal

Buying property in Portugal involves more than just the price of the house.

In addition to the property price, there are taxes that must be paid before the transfer of ownership, with the most well-known being IMT (Municipal Tax on Onerous Property Transfers) and Stamp Duty. Although they may seem like mere formalities, these taxes have specific rules that can affect the total cost of your purchase. Understanding these aspects can help you make better-informed decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises during the acquisition process.
