PT law change to tax foreigners at only 20% of local earnings, and ignore all else outside PT borders....not bad.

Finally penny has dropped, that only the poor, old, sick, foreign pre-taxed Pensioners are arriving, adding huge burden to the state, yet not creating wealth nor particularly bringing sustainable purchasing power.

Just need to lower ridiculous taxes on luxury motors.....and they might attract wealthy and wealth creators.

Thing is, its not even the "luxury motors" that are a major issue, our mid sized family car cost 11k more than it would have in be France,Spain or UK! New car sales would increase hugely if they dropped I.A and I am sure there would be far fewer in hospital if the majority could afford newer cars(new cars being far safer in terms of handling & crash protection) Stupid politician ****wits cant see the bigger picture!

I'm lucky -
my corner of Portugal doesn't have big mouthed ranting mis-informed lunatics.

and to think i already hate Tavira

Re: Step in right direction
 

You should try Marbella its full of Brit gob-shites driving around in cheap luxury motors - lovely place -sounds like your kind of heaven

How about legalising drugs, tax free huge screen tvs and massive discounts on giant gold chains, free tattoo's for all - would that be your Utopian dream for Portugal

This laws years old, i think its you that takes a long time for the penny to drop - dumbo.
Bad news unless you're so stupid you didn't realise - tax is still due in whichever country you earned the money.
Tavira must be a hell of a place - the poor, old, sick, foreign pre-taxed .
Pensioners in my area all seem to drive luxury cars and live in big villas, spending copiously in local bars, restaurants, shops, local tradesmen etc and coincidentially creating huge amounts of local wealth.
Huge burden for the state - for pensioners or the seriously ill your original country of residence pays for health treatment, you choose to pay a top up if you think its appropriate - no burden at all for the state.
Sadly the only really poor people here (and i'm sure there are a few exceptions) are the Portuguese - Perhaps you'd like to ask them all to leave.
No shortage of luxury cars wherever i go in Portugal - maybe 'Big Ant' you're the only one who can't afford one, its either that or an obvious case of' penis envy'.
What idiots like you don't realise is that the whole of the Portuguese car industry relies on the current car values - make a specific law to suite 'Big Ant' and the whole industry collapses, no dealers, no garages.
You also don't realise that here a car is an asset - unlike the UK(buy cheaper and watch its value plummit) - here you buy at a higher price and its value is retained for longer - win some lose some.
The truely wealthy couldn't care less if a Porche is 100k or 150k doesn't make any difference to them, just wanabees like you

lol - always makes me smile when our Spanish friends visit - much nicer on this side of the border heh amigo.
Why don't you take big ant with you when you go

Re: Step in right direction
 

It is, but this week they announced that they had significantly relaxed the criteria, hence it hitting the news in both the UK and Portugal.

Re: Step in right direction
 

i know

hows the new theme tune go -
ya gotta pick a pocket or two - you gotta pick a pocket or two
We all love Tavira really

Re: Step in right direction
 

Lol? Exactly how old are you? I fail to understand why you appear to be picking fights all over the forum.

However, to return to the OPs point, what tax reform do you consider is more appropriate to your lifestyle? Perhaps you could advise Senhor Peter Rabbit. Lower tax on smugness?

Re: Step in right direction
 

just maybe i'm a poor, old, sick, foreign pre-taxed Pensioner, adding huge burden to the state, yet not creating wealth nor particularly bringing sustainable purchasing power.
Or maybe i just don't appreciate ill-informed windbags like 'big ant'.

Re: Step in right direction
 

Sounds logical to me:thumbup:

Is there really the need to get personal?
This seems to have gotten a little childish. :thumbdown:
