" After having researched the west coast of Portugal and the different places in Algarve the choice was easy - Lagos is a perfect place to live. Small but big enough, cosy but also lively with a gentle and friendly way of treating people. Close to calm surroundings, to the Faro “low fare”-airport and therby the world, to Meia Praia beach for mental perfect walking at the sea side, to the old city and historical and genuine atmosphere, a couple of hours in the car and you are in Lisbon, half an hour and you find the Monchigue montains with their views and actions or the wild southern west coast with many beautiful bays and beaches. Why not mention also the whether which although warm is positively effected by the often refreshing wind. Shopping and restaurants whereever you like" Börje & Ulla 14-06-2011

Tax reduction for rental income promised
The government has announced that it plans to change the rules of eviction of tenants that have not paid their rents in order to speed up such legal proceedings. Simultaneously, the government promises to change the Personal Income Tax (may be only in 2012) to reduce the taxation of rental income earned by landlords to a maximum of 21.5%, i.e., a rate equivalent to the rate applied to other types of capital income (profits and interest). Details of this proposal are not yet known and its implementation may depend on the continuity of the current government. Information published by José Silva Jorge, Tax Adviser for Mercator, 23rd March 2011

Portugal Gives Itself a Clean-Energy Makeover
Five years ago, the leaders of this sun-scorched, wind-swept nation made a bet: To reduce Portugal’s dependence on imported fossil fuels, they embarked on an array of ambitious renewable energy projects — primarily harnessing the country’s wind and hydropower, but also its sunlight and ocean waves. Today, Lisbon’s trendy bars, Porto’s factories and the Algarve’s glamorous resorts are powered substantially by clean energy. Nearly 45 percent of the electricity in Portugal’s grid will come from renewable sources this year,up from 17 percent just five years ago. By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL In The New York Times

Is Sweden the Switzerland of the North?
By Richard Barley in The Wall Street Journal The world has marveled at a resurgent Germany, but it could learn a trick or two from Sweden. With expected 2010 growth of 5.5%, Sweden is a star among developed markets. Optimists forecast growth of above 4% again in 2011, while even pessimists expect expansion of around 2.5%. No wonder some analysts are now describing the Swedish krone as Northern Europe’s answer to the Swiss franc. Sweden was well prepared for the crisis, having been through its own financial bust in the early 1990s. Its banking system at the outset of the crisis was in robust shape, and the country had a high savings rate, a budget surplus and had spent years undertaking structural reforms. Sweden ended 2010 with an essentially balanced budget and a ratio of central government debt to gross domestic product of just 35%. Based on credit-default-swap prices, it is the second-safest issuer of sovereign debt in the world after Norway.

High build quality and relatively low prices are continual attractions for property investors in Portugal. To cap this, cheap flights, consistent capital growth, a strong buy-to-let market and low cost of living continue to draw investors and homebuyers to this stable EU member state. Portugal is famed as a golfers’ paradise and investment in off-plan property on one of its world class golf courses is a firm favourite amongst property investors today. In: propertyshowrooms.com

Portuguese new investment tax code
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.
