The Portuguese new investment tax code, among other measures, creates a new Personal Income Tax Regime for non-habitual resident persons. This statute will be granted to persons who become resident for tax purposes in Portugal from the 1st January 2009 onwards without having had this statute in the preceding five years. The Portuguese tax residence for this purpose may be acquired via a number of different ways. The regime includes two different sets of rules, one of them applicable to foreign-sourced passive income, similar to non-domiciled taxation regimes such as the ones of United Kingdom and Switzerland, and the other to active income, in this case encompassing income derived both from foreign and domestic sources, following expatriate, rectius impatriate, taxation regimes such as the ones existing in Spain and France. It is expected that this new Portuguese tax regime for non-habitual residents will be effective in the attraction to Portugal of high net worth individuals, fostering increasing fiscal revenue, namely in regard in real estate and consumption taxes.

Leading real estate markets that were hard hit at the height of the global economic downturn are now showing positive signs of recovery, according to a new report. But the overall picture is mixed. While countries such as Australia, Canada, France, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom experienced a measure of house price growth, indicating a recovery, prices fell in Japan, Italy and Ireland. The real estate markets in the United States and Germany saw no overall movements in 2010 but the outlook is favourable, the report by Canadian finance house Scotiabank shows. The housing market in advanced economies showed ‘a modest but uneven recovery in 2010,’ says the Global Real Estate Trends report that looked at the housing markets of 12 leading global economies for the year 2010. There was a climate of muted economic growth with record low interest rates providing some support for global property markets. IN:Prpperty Wire
