Work out the number

What a company pays in the Azores, and what it would pay on the mainland

Type in a year of profit. The rates are the published ones. Each carries the law it comes from, and the date we checked it.

Place Rate Tax owed You keep
The Azores 8.75% €4,375 €45,625
Mainland Portugal 19% €9,500 €40,500

The difference, every year

€5,125

On €50,000 of profit. It is the same sum the rest of the site quotes, because it is the same code doing it.

What this does not tell you

It applies a headline rate to a profit figure, and nothing more. Town taxes are charged on top. The low rate only covers the first part of the profit. And what counts as profit depends on what you can deduct. Your accountant will get to a different number. Treat this as the shape of the answer, not the answer.

This is arithmetic, not advice about your case. Check anything you act on with an accountant.
