Nuno de Oliveira Garcia clarifies issues regarding the issuance of IMI settlement notes | CNN
2 de June, 2025
Nuno de Oliveira Garcia, partner and head of Tax, advises that, given the delay in the arrival of settlement notices at people’s homes this year, the references provided on the Finance Portal should be used, as it is not possible to know ‘when the letter will arrive’, in a CNN Portugal article.
Technical constraints following the ‘blackout’ on 29 April delayed the sending of IMI settlement notices, with the Government deciding to extend the payment deadline for this tax (for the first instalment or the single instalment for amounts up to €100) until the end of June, i.e. for one month longer than usual.
In this context, Nuno de Oliveira Garcia’s advice is that people sign up to Via CTT, so that they receive notifications and settlement notices electronically only.

CJEU requires actual neutralisation of tax discrimination against non-resident collective investment schemes or, where there is tax transparency, against their unitholders
The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled in response to the Supreme Court that imposing a heavier tax burden on U.S. regulated investment companies than on resident collective investment schemes constitutes a restriction on the free movement of capital. Although such a restriction may be neutralised by the applicable double taxation treaty, that neutralisation must not be a merely theoretical possibility but must actually and fully be implemented, including with respect to the unitholders.

The Court of Justice of the European Union clarifies the impact on VAT of intra-group transfer pricing adjustments
The Court of Justice, in the Stellantis Portugal case, confirms that a transfer pricing adjustment intended to ensure a specific profit margin, even if certain repair or warranty costs are partially taken into account in its calculation, does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that there is an independent supply of services subject to value-added tax. The determining factors are the existence of a legal relationship involving reciprocal consideration and a direct link between the identifiable service and the consideration received.

Joint interpretative instrument between Spain and Brazil on the classification of Brazilian juros
In this paper we address the controversy that the taxation of Brazilian interest has sparked both during the period when the recast version of the Corporate Income Tax Act was in force and since the Corporate Income Tax Act came into effect. Its possible classification, either as dividends or as interest, has been analysed on several occasions by Spanish courts and tax authority, the latter having recently agreed with its Brazilian counterpart to treat it as “interest” for the purposes of the Spain/Brazil Double Taxation Convention.

Supreme Court clarifies VAT treatment of intra-group transfers of shares carried out by mixed holding companies
The Supreme Court has established ‘cassational’ doctrine regarding the treatment under value-added tax of intra-group transfers of shares by mixed holding companies. It is confirmed that the intra-group transfer of shares constitutes a financial activity that cannot generally be classified as a management support activity. Likewise, it is acknowledged that an intra-group transfer of shares may not be subject to said tax when it involves the indirect transfer of an independent economic unit, subjecting such exclusion to the circumstances surrounding the transaction.

Whether or not the purchasers of residential apartments and commercial premises take on, by way of subrogation, the planning obligations arising from a land readjustment procedure, has always been a conundrum on account of the economic and social impact that an affirmative answer would have on the end recipients of housing. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on this matter.
