How IMT and Stamp Duty work
Portuguese IMT is usually calculated using a rate and deduction system. For higher-value properties, a flat percentage applies instead.

|---|---|---|
| 0 – 106 346 | 0% | 0 |
| 106 346 – 145 470 | 2.0% | 2126,92 |
| 145 470 – 198 347 | 5.0% | 6491,02 |
| 198 347 – 330 539 | 7.0% | 10 457,96 |
| 330 539 – 660 982 | 8.0% | 13 763,35 |

IMT calculation example
For most properties, Portuguese IMT is calculated using:
Purchase price × tax rate − deduction
For higher-value properties, Portugal switches to a flat IMT percentage, meaning no deduction is applied anymore.
When IMT Jovem applies, IMT and Purchase Stamp Duty are fully exempt up to €330,539 (Mainland Portugal). For higher purchase prices, the exemption still applies — you only pay tax on the amount above the exemption threshold.
Example without IMT Jovem
This example uses the standard Mainland Portugal primary residence table.
Example with IMT Jovem
The exemption still applies above the threshold — tax only starts on the amount exceeding the IMT Jovem exemption.
