Landlords can deliver receipts of income on paper until 1 … – publico

The landlords will be able to continue to deliver the receipts of income on paper by 1 November, since the government postponed the obligation to issue electronic receipts, which entered into force in May.

Of information provided to Lusa, the source of the Ministry of Finance informs that, “notwithstanding the application is already operating, the Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs, Paulo Nuncio, signed today [Thursday] an order extending until 1 November An electronic receipt issued obligation of income through the Portal of Finance, to allow time to adapt to the new features. “

This means that landlords who want to continue to issue paper receipts may do so without being subject to the payment of fines by 1 November, but who wants to go to issue these receipts over the Internet has also afford to do so.

The new rules on electronic receipts were created with the reform of the IRS, in force since January 2015, but only knew how they would be applied in a decree published in late April.

Speaking to the Lusa agency, the president of Lisbonense Owners Association, Menezes Leitão, said he was “very pleased” with the fact that the association’s concerns “have been met,” giving “one more time for people to be able to adapt.”

The association launched a specialized service to address the high number of questions related to the issuance of the electronic receipt.

The president of the National Association of Owners, Frias Antonio Marques, told PUBLIC considering the positive postponement, but clarified that maintains the intention of proceed with a request for unconstitutionality, which should be done by the Ombudsman.

The association considers that the electronic receipt discriminates against citizens, in particular because it imposes more stringent requirements for monthly incomes over 70 euros and discriminates citizens based on age.

The ordinance exempt from compulsory electronic issue only citizens over 65 years or rural leases, but there are owners under the age 65 years may be less familiar with electronic means.

Pilots decide to keep strike in TAP – publico

The Civil Aviation Pilots’ Union (SPAC) today announced that it will keep the strike ten days already starts on Friday. The union says it is always possible an agreement to suspend the protests, but so far this has not been possible.

At a press conference held after a new meeting with the president of TAP, which took place on the afternoon of Thursday, Hélder Santinhos, the SPAC’s management reaffirmed that the protests are to maintain because “pilots and workers are tired of pay for mistakes that are not yours. “

The official accused the TAP and the Government of” radicalism “and assured that” the pilots made very significant concessions “during the negotiation process that lasted until the date of this afternoon with Fernando Pinto. “The administration is adamant in its position,” he said, adding that although “the strikes are never timely,” pilots “are here to assume their responsibilities.”

Hélder Santinhos said, however, that “there is always” the possibility of an agreement that results in the cancellation of this standstill. That was the expectation that existed when the PUBLIC reported that SPAC steering elements were meeting with the president of TAP to try to reach an agreement that caught the strike. But at least so far, has not been found a solution that allows it. Pilots claim the refund of seniority suspended since 2011 and a share between 10% and 20% stake in the company.

In response to the union’s decision, the Economy Minister made a statement again appeal to workers to attend the service. “I appeal to the pilots, men and women used to making decisions in delicate moments, work 1-10 de Maio” said Pires de Lima.

The governor justified the failure to answer more questions journalists with the “hope that the whole Portuguese society still holds until the last minute,” that the strike is called off. To the minister, further comment could jeopardize a possible “rethinking the drivers,” making clear that still exists within the Government, the expectation that the strike is canceled.

But even that the protests were canceled, the main damage is already sunk. Only for this Friday, the 1st day of a strike which is scheduled to May 10, there have been three thousand passengers decided to cancel the trips. The number could be much higher, since there are customers who already have given up the flights, but not yet confirmed this decision to TAP.

The airline estimated carry around 350,000 people these ten days. A substantial share of passengers is already lost and other important slice opted to transfer flights to alternative dates or ask vouchers with valid for one year, that is, even though not canceled tickets, will occupy the place of future reserves, which will always mean a loss for the TAP.

On Thursday, the airline published a notice on its website that lists the flights which will not accomplish if the strike continue. They are a total of 86 bonds that the company has not canceled on purpose, because on the one hand, still has the expectation that the pilots attend the service and, secondly, is to avoid the payment of refunds to customers.

Pilots and president of TAP gathered to catch the strike – publico

The pilots and the president of TAP gathered on the afternoon of Thursday to try to find a solution that avoids the strike which started ten days already scheduled for this Friday. PUBLIC know that the meeting takes place at the company’s headquarters, where the parties try to reach an agreement to allow the cancellation of the strike.

On the table is the set of proposals that the administration of TAP and Government had previously done the Union of Civil Aviation Pilots, claiming the return of seniority suspended since 2011 and a share between 10% and 20% stake in the company. However, the content of the proposal that was made to the pilots is still unknown, and the evolution that has been taking in recent days.

This meeting takes place a few hours a press conference called by the union to the 20h. In the notice sent to the editorial, the SPAC let on that the conference would not serve to cancel the strike, as reaffirmed the intention to continue with the protests. But the government has also scheduled a press conference for 20:30, to react to the announcement that will be made by the union.

However, it is unclear what outcome will be meeting in the afternoon of Thursday with Fernando Pinto. Neither the TAP or the government, not even the pilots want this strike, but it has been difficult to reach an understanding that can hang.

And even if this meeting would result in a lifting of the strike, the main damage is already sunk. Only for this Friday, the 1st day of a strike which is scheduled to May 10, there have been three thousand passengers decided to cancel the trips. The number could be much higher, since there are customers who already have given up the flights, but not yet confirmed this decision to TAP.

The airline estimated carry around 350,000 people in these ten days. A substantial share of passengers is already lost and other important slice opted to transfer flights to alternative dates or ask vouchers with valid for one year, that is, even though not canceled tickets, will occupy the place of future reserves, which will always mean a loss for the TAP.

On Friday, the airline published a notice on its website that lists the flights which will not accomplish if the strike continue. They are a total of 86 bonds that the company has not canceled on purpose, because on the one hand, still has the expectation that the pilots attend the service and, secondly, is to avoid the payment of refunds to customers.

Government appeals to pilots of TAP: “Let’s look at the navel” – Journal News

Earlier, the Minister of the Presidency and Parliamentary Affairs considered that already was “very said, by the Government, the part of others” on the ten-day strike called by union pilots of TAP.

“Even the opposition leader, who walked silenced for a long time on this, yesterday [Wednesday] decided to rule on this matter too,” said Marques Guedes.

The general secretary of the PS held on Wednesday that the strike in TAP is “another bad contribution” to the company’s situation: “I have to express concern about the situation, and disgust at not being possible until Now a solution be found to avoid the strike and avoid pursuing a privatization that under that is being made does not contribute to good success of TAP or the national economy “, said António Costa.

The pilots of TAP, which give a press conference this evening, called for a ten-day strike starting on Friday by disagreements with the protection, at a time when the company is in a process of privatization.
