Financial Incentives for Companies

Incentive Scheme for companies

The Portuguese State, in cooperation with the European Union, has within Portugal 2020 implemented an incentive scheme for companies, particularly for those seeking to produce tradable goods and services at the international level. These supports vary in terms of location, nature and type of investment. The website contains simulators to provide numerical information about the financial incentives which your investment project may obtain within the framework programmes. These supports may be combined with tax benefits (SIFIDE II) as provided for in the Investment Tax Code. The calculated amounts are merely indicative, since they do not assess the merit of the project, nor consider information regarding call for applications.

The set of simulators regarding the incentive scheme for companies is divided into the following areas:
