Tax...........

Havent lived in a tax free country for abt 2 yrs(Qatar)... my hubby and I kinda have to get used to earning a taxable salary!!!

Wht are the approx tax amounts/% paid off a salary...  if possible! Obviously it changes according to the salary you earn. Wht we kinda calculated was tht is was abt a 1/4 of one's salary ... it tht abt right? Which is rather alot!

HELP............ :)

Dear Ally_Cat,

The taxation depends on many factors. If both are 'dependent' works, or a 'Individual self-worker'. If you have children, how many, if you have health expenses and, of course, the amount of money you get (taxes vary). If you earn the minimum salary, you'll pay nothing. I'll leave you the retention table for couple with one children:

Muito Obrigada Pedro....

Seriously tho... thanks for that!

Hello Ally_Cat,

38% would be wonderful ..... 25.000€ a month.
Well, don't forget it's a retention table, doesn't mean you'll pay 38% applied to the whole year salary.
There's something that's intriguing me .... you moved from Qatar to Portugal. Whyyyyyyyyy? Do you like to suffer of Tax-attack?
Hope everything goes ok.
Cheers.
