To mitigate the impact of Covid-19 in the productive sector, the government is suspending VAT on oil and hygiene products and extending the exemption of charges resulting from the late payment of tax.
Measures applying to the media and the sanctions regime were also changed at the Council of Ministers on Wednesday (April 8).
Last week, the Council of Ministers approved the suspension of Value Added Tax (VAT) payment on oil and hygiene products not already covered by the provisions in force, through the extension of Law no. 13/2016 from December 30 until December 2020.
@Verdade has also learned that the exemption of charges (fines, interest and tax foreclosure) resulting from delays in making tax payments has been extended until December 2020.
Import licencing for essential goods and tax regularisation at a later date were also simplified, and interpellations, constitutions in arrears, and executions resulting from non-compliance with commitments resulting from bank credits, were suspended.
Meanwhile, the Council of Ministers, in yet another extraordinary session this Wednesday, added to Decree nº 12/2020 of 2 April the closure of more points of entry and exit, and mandated the use of nose-and-mouth protection mask on all public and private passenger transport.
The stipulations regarding the media and the regime of sanctions for breaking state of emergency regulations were also adjusted.
