From The Algarve Daily News:

Aljezur sets low 2014 council tax

Aljezur council voted to lower council tax rates at the first meeting of the new term for the socialist leadership.

Mayor José Amarelinho said the council tax reduction takes into account “the difficult situation that families have in the current crisis, with a high tax burden that is expected to go up next year, with more cuts in wages and pensions.”

The council commented that, “the rigour imposed on our financial management has meant we can alleviate in some small way the tax burden on our citizens.”

Aljezur has set a rate of 0.35% – the maximum rate could have been 0.8 %.

As Leo says on the Vale da Telha.eu website:

“If my memory serves me well, the current rate is 0.40% and this is good news as most VDT resident’s exemptions come to an end shortly.”
