IMI and Stamp Duty declarations are now pre-filled
The Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority (AT) has begun providing pre-filled IMI and Stamp Duty declarations, a measure included in the investments of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) aimed at the digital transformation of Public Administration. The objective is to simplify tax procedures, reduce filing errors and make the relationship between taxpayers and the tax administration more efficient.
The new measure was presented during a session dedicated to the digital transformation of property taxes, organised by the Ministry of Finance. Among the main outcomes of the investments are the modernisation of information systems, the strengthening of technological infrastructure and the creation of new digital features to facilitate compliance with tax obligations related to property.
Digitalisation strengthens Tax Authority services
In addition to the pre-filling of IMI and Stamp Duty declarations, the AT highlighted the digitalisation of a large part of the paper documentation associated with rural land registers. This process improves information management, speeds up document consultation and increases the efficiency of services.
The modernisation also includes enhanced interoperability between public bodies, allowing greater information sharing among different State entities. One of the examples presented is the connection with the Institute for Mobility and Transport (IMT), facilitating the exchange of data required for various administrative procedures.
Citizen Card to include a technical code
As part of the same digitalisation strategy, an ordinance has been published establishing the association of a technical code with the Citizen Card. This code is issued and managed throughout the document's lifecycle and is intended to strengthen interoperability between public services.
According to the new rules, reading the technical code does not provide access to the holder's remaining personal data, making only the information authorised by the citizen available.
The measure also provides for a connection between the Institute of Registries and Notaries (IRN) and the State Technological Reform Agency (ARTE), which is responsible for managing the technical code. The availability of this information to other entities will depend on compliance with the legislation in force and the existence of the technical mechanisms required to ensure secure interoperability.
With these measures, the Government aims to accelerate the digitalisation of public services, simplify property-related procedures and strengthen the security of information sharing between State entities.
