The income tax return campaign for the 2024 earnings period has officially begun, allowing taxpayers to submit their IRS declaration until the end of June. The government has emphasized two key precautions to consider during this process:
- Ensure your IBAN and amounts are correct;
- Before submission, you should use the ‘validate’ function to check for any errors in the declaration.
“A careful verification of all data is crucial. Errors in the IBAN and failing to confirm information can delay the validation and issuance process. Take advantage of the three-month deadline to avoid last-minute submissions,” advises the government in a statement.
Submissions must be carried out online through the Finance Portal (www.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt).
“The process is free, and if needed, taxpayers can seek assistance at the Finance services, civic centers, and parish councils (find support locations here),” it states.
Moreover, for those eligible for automatic IRS—including a broader range of taxpayers, particularly those exclusively earning income from employment and/or pensions—simply access the Finance Portal and confirm your details. If not completed, at the end of the submission period, the tax authority converts the pre-filled declaration into a definitive one.
For those not covered by automatic IRS, by accessing the Finance Portal and opting to submit the IRS declaration, a pre-filled declaration with various elements concerning both income and deductions will be provided. This should be reviewed and completed before final submission.
