Reduction in VAT for gas and electricity
Following the lead of multiple countries in Europe, Portugal has lowered VAT on gas and electricity to from 23% to 6% in the wake of inflation in the country.
We expect other European countries to follow a similar trajectory in the coming months and are closely monitoring changing tax rates both in Europe and globally.
