Surcharge of IRS ends up to 1.2 million, continues to 450 thousand – the Public.en

on The 1st of January opens one more chapter in the history of the surcharge to the IRS. At the end of four years, as a temporary and extraordinary that was born by the hand of Vítor Gaspar will finally end up on the first day of 2017 for many taxpayers, but it’s still not for everyone. Disappears the 1 of January to 1.2 million households, continues to 456 thousand, only leaving to be retained a phased approach.

When they receive the salary of January, taxpayers in the second division of the IRS will no longer pay a surcharge, similar to what happens with the contributors of the first rank. The second step relates to income tax basis between 7091 and 20.261 euros a year, with no withholding tax for those who earn up to 1705 euros gross per month.

contrary To what the Government has come to predict and enlist in the law, the surcharge will continue for the taxpayers of the ranks following, but with lower rates than this year: the surcharge goes to 0,88% in the third step, to 2.75% in the fourth and to 3,21% in the fifth.

Only instead of being retained in the 12 months 2017, the abolition will be made gradually. The surcharge will only be charged on the salary, up to a certain time of the year, depending on the level of income: taxpayers of the third tier will retain it in the first six months of the year (until 30 June); who is in the fourth or in the fifth level of income will retain the surcharge in the 11 months (until 30 November). And during this period it will be equal to the retention of this year.

The technique of phasing leads the executive António Costa you can explore and defend politically that the surcharge ends in 2017. Of the 1.6 million taxpayers that currently pay, 72% are no longer payable in January, being extinct in the retention of a phased manner for the remaining 28%. This group of 456 thousand, 92 thousand will continue to do retention for 11 months.

For these taxpayers, as long as there is retention, nothing changes for this year, because despite the annual fees are lower, the amount withheld monthly is equal to that of 2016. The rate "has been reduced in the same proportion of the number of months in which the leaves to be applied to their retention in the source, that is, six months for the third level, whose retention ceases to apply from July, and a month for the last two levels, whose retention ceases to apply in December. In the case of the third tier to the income tax basis for the annual excess 20.261 euros and up 40.522 euros, will match the 6/12 twelfth of the applicable fee in 2016, that is, the surcharge reduces from 1.75% to 0,88%," notes Cristina Reis, the team fiscalistas firm-PwC.

the Simulations made for the PUBLIC for this consultant to show that there is a tax relief for taxpayers in general. The main gain comes from the end or the reduction of the surcharge; but can also be explained by the update of the ranks of the IRS by 0.8% (the expected inflation for 2016).

See the situation of a couple with two children in which each spouse receives 800 euros gross per month. In this case, these taxpayers have not already paid the surcharge this year, but should also feel a decrease very slightly with the IRS because of the update of the ranks. The net income rises 15,68 euros per year (for 21.540,76 euros), the result of a descent of the IRS 874,92 euros for 859,24.

If each member of the couple with two children receive 3000 euros gross per month, the reduction of the surcharge allows a saving of € 521 (a surcharge to pay for passes for 1022 euros per year for 500,08 euros). With this, the net income grows 61,903,50 euros for 62,467,84 euros, a difference of greater than 560 euros, mainly due to break in the surcharge.

In the case of a single person with one child and who earn per month 3000 euros gross, the surcharge on annual passes 511,05 for 250,4 eur. The descent of the IRS is 282 euros, bringing the net income to increase from 30,951,75 euros for 31.233,93 euros a year, according to the simulation of the PwC.

The return of the Simplex News Journal

The measures to combat red tape in the issuance and renewal of driving licences, which come into force already at the beginning of January are the height of the best that the Simplex has brought to the actual life of the citizens: first, there is no need to renew the driving licence just because if you have changed address (the address no longer appear in the charter itself, going to be included in the base only of the IMT, which directly accesses to the updated data from the citizen card); second, the term of validity of licences is extended from 10 to 15 years for drivers up to the age of 60 years old; third, will be able to treat the renewal of the charter for the Internet, with a discount of 10%; fourth, drivers with less than 60 years old no longer need a medical certifi cate to renew the charter; fifth, the medical certificates required for drivers with more than 60 years pass by, from April, the circular directly, by electronic means, of the services of the Ministry of Health for the IMT.

With these measures, in good time, and announced by the minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Pedro Marques, in conjunction with the minister of the Presidency and Administrative reform, Maria Manuel Leitão Marques, millions of roles and procedures useless will be purely and simply deleted, the service quality in public services will improve and the life of citizens will be a lot easier.

This offensive against the bureaucracy on the cards driving well illustrates the mode of operation and the merits of the Simplex programme, launched in late 2005 by then-minister António Costa and I have had the honor of guardianship between 2007 and 2011. The Simplex is the same as well: mobilizes the contribution and the creativity of all the ministries, services, and employees of the State to fight the bureaucracy; a structure through the programming of a vast linked set of measures scheduled, with great involvement of the importance of policies and, finally, submits the execution of these measures to a rigorous monitoring and evaluation periodic. It is this model, this is the key to success.

The return of the Simplex programme, with the 255 measures that are now the version “Simplex+ 2016″, allowed to re-launch the ambition of administrative reform, which should never have been abandoned by the governance Right. Moreover, in the case of a program widely recognized, nationally and internationally as a huge success, relaunch it reveals, above all, lucidity and good sense. But this renewed commitment to the administrative reform has a political significance far more profound, which must be recognized: to enhance the qualification of public services, the Government of the socialist is distinguished from the “primer” of neoliberal State reform, and takes a different view – and progressive – what should be the structural reforms. Honor him.

Irs notifies the seven thousand independent not withheld IRS News Journal

Edward James

Today at 11:36

When a worker on the green receipts have an income of more than ten thousand euros, and the value is paid by companies, have to do withholding.

The irs has detected thousands of workers that pass green receipts and that they are not making withholding IRS even though they have already exceeded the limit of 10 thousand euros of income that allows them to escape this discount. A group of 7167 of these taxpayers has already been alerted to this failure by the Tax and Customs Authority, but only 30% have already regularized the situation.

The limits of exemption of withholding tax for those who pass green receipts is one of the issues that most doubt arouses among the contributors

the rules of The IRS allow an independent worker does not make withholding tax while the value of the receipts that pass the companies (or more exactly, to taxable persons with organized accounts) is less than 10 thousand euros. Beyond this plateau, ends this exemption, it being necessary to start the discount in the month immediately following.

outside of the waiver are still people in 2015 had the income paid by companies that exceed 10 thousand euros, while the services of the Tax and Customs Authority have occurred throughout this year, the existence of irregular situations with this profile.

The Ministry of Finance, in response to the Cash, he claimed to have sent e-mails to more than 7 thousand taxpayers for having exceeded the time limit provided for in the Code of the IRS “during the year of 2015 or in 2016, up to the moment analysis (September)”. The same source stresses that “about 30% have changed their behaviour in the following month, going on to issue an invoice or invoices-invoice with withholding tax, and the Tax and Customs Authority to monitor the development in the periods that follow”.

The limits of exemption of withholding tax for those who pass green receipts is one of the issues that most doubt arouses among the contributors. “It is definitely a very recurring and a problematic issue because normally arises associated with some kind of default”, you need to Live Paula Franco, consultant of the Order of Accountants Certificates.

The e-mails that the Tax Authority sent you are still alert and are intended to support and promote the voluntary compliance of tax obligations

The theme is not simple. To the ignorance of some self-employed workers about the rules, is compounded by the fact that they have to be these to tell you who pays them whether or not to overcome the 10 thousand euros, and then move to withholding. This type of control is difficult on the part of the company because these are unaware of if that person passes receipts for other companies and what is the value in question.

however, points out Paula Franco, the responsible subsidiary for the withholding tax falls on the customer of the service provider or the company that pays the income in question.

The e-mails that the Tax Authority sent you are still alert and are intended to support and promote the voluntary compliance of tax obligations. But, accentuates Paula Franco, the habit has shown that once detected these irregular situations, the irs moves forward with the sanctions – particularly when the situation is not regularized.

And, in the case of withholding tax, the delays are costly: in addition to the repayment of the money missing, there is still a fine that ranges between 15% and 50% of the value of the tax (when they are concerned taxable persons natural persons) or between 30% and 50% of the value of the tax (in the case of involved companies).

The limit of 10 thousand euros for an exemption from withholding tax only applies if who pays for the provision of services for a company or taxpayer is subject to a regime of organized accounting. But it does not have to be observed when the income is obtained from a final consumer. This is what explains that a tenant particularly a landlord who receives a year more than 10 thousand euros of income does not have to do withholding. But if the tenant is a company, this will have already have attention on this detail.

The level of 10 thousand euros for self-employed workers fit in the category B also serves to limit to be or not exempt from VAT. But in the case of this tax, the loss of the exemption occurs only in the year following that in which if you exceeded that value – and can even happen that the worker is forced to settle VAT in a year in which their incomes are lower. The income of the previous year are also the relevant indicator for green receipts fall in the level of discounts for Social Security.

Irs notifies you by e-mail to 7,000 taxpayers by failures in the IRS – TVI24

The internal revenue service has notified more than seven thousand independent workers for failures in the IRS. Is that when a worker green receipts reaches a yield of more than 10 thousand euros is have the obligation to make the retention at source. There was already 7167 taxpayers to receive e-mail alert that did not.

The time horizon goes from the year 2015 until September 2016, the second answered the tutelage of the DN/Cash. Only 30% of already regularized the situation, “going to issue an invoice or invoices-invoice with withholding tax, and the Tax and Customs Authority to monitor the development in the periods that follow”.

The e-mail should be viewed as an alert, wanting the state to encourage the voluntary compliance to tax obligations. But this does not mean that people can get rid of penalties for the irregularity committed, especially if you don’t try to fix it after this warning.

in This case, may open the drawstrings to the bag: in addition to the repayment of the money missing, there is still a fine that ranges between 15% and 50% of the value of the tax in the case of taxable natural) or between 30% and 50% (if they are companies).

what say the rules?

The self-employed workers may not make the withholding if they pass receipts the companies did not reach 10 thousand euros. If it exceeds this bar, then, yes, the exemption ends, by which they are obliged to cash in the month immediately following.

But you have to be aware that the limit of 10 thousand euros for an exemption from withholding tax only applies if who pays for the provision of services for a company or a taxpayer subject to a regime of organized accounting. The same does not happen when the income comes from an end-consumer. That is why, for example in the case of a tenant’s particular whose landlord who receives per year more than 10 thousand euros in income, you do not have to do withholding. Already if the tenant is a company, it is necessary to be attentive to the limits.

There are many people who go green receipts that do not have knowledge of all the rules. The situation is complicated even more by having to be they to inform those who pays them for the service whether or not the overcome already the 10 billion euros of income. Now, the companies that pay it is difficult to control this situation, because they may not know if the employee in question passes or not receipts for other entities.

The process is complex. Hence, be informed and also attentive to the box of email to be important.

Lisbon transport are of less appeal to customers – Jornal de Negócios – Portugal

Among the 16 sectors assessed in the edition 2016 of the National Index of Customer Satisfaction (ECSI Portugal), the transport of the metropolitan area of Lisbon were the ones that presented the lowest level in relation to the expectations of the users.

According to the ECSI Portugal 2016, presented this Wednesday, December 28, by the NEW Information Management School, the transport of the metropolitan area of Lisbon have obtained a satisfaction rate of 6.17 points, with 14.3 percent of customers very satisfied.

In the antipodes was the sector of the gas in the bottle, recording the highest value, with a satisfaction rate of 8,01 points and 50,1% of customers were very satisfied.

the Following is the fuel sector, which presents an index of 7,61 points and 32.9% of customers very satisfied.

In the telecommunications sector, the subsector of the service, the mobile telephone displays a higher level of customer satisfaction. In the field of energy is the gas in the bottle that best meets the customers, while the natural gas and electricity, levels of satisfaction more low.

In the financial sector are the insurance that has a higher performance among the perceptions of the customers. And in the field of transport, considering the set of all variables in the study, the transport of the metropolitan area of Porto present values higher than those of the Lisbon transport.

however, by the fact that the public transport in the Lisbon metropolitan area show an increasing negative difference between the satisfaction index and the loyalty of the client, “showing good ability to gain the loyalty of their customers, despite lower levels of satisfaction achieved”, can be read in a statement. In the opposite scenario is if the gas in the bottle, that in spite of having a high index of satisfaction, does not have much ability to retain their customers.

In terms of complaints, the ECSI Portugal to 2016 points to pay-tv, phone service, mobile and fixed internet as the sub-sectors with the largest percentages, with a 26.4% and 24.9% for the remaining two, respectively. The sectors of the fuel and of the gas in the bottle are the sub-sectors with the proportions of claims lower, with 1.8% and 0.7%, respectively.

The study points to the sectors of electricity, transport of the metropolitan area of the Port and of the Waters as those that are an evolution accumulated over the last two years more pronounced.

In most of the sectors, the quality indexes apercebida and image are the ones that have a better performance. On the other hand, the indicators of value realized and claims are the ones that show the worst performances.

The sector of the gas in the bottle is the one that registers the highest values in the indicators of image, expectations, quality apercebida, satisfaction and complaints. The sectors of fuel, insurance (on a par with the gas in the bottle) and the banker the leading indexes of value realised, complaints and loyalty, respectively.

Shippers complain of the lack of investment in cargo terminals – the guardian

The Shippers complain that the lack of investment in cargo terminals of the airports of Lisbon and Porto is the cause of the pile up of goods, and the diversion of business to other airports.

Paulo Paiva complaint-if of the means of existing trace

“ANA [Airports] have revealed a thorough lack of vision, refraining from any investment in the department of load”, denounced in a statement the association, referring to the fact that “the reality of the security procedures became a entropy in the movement of goods by air, the airports of Porto and Lisbon”.

In statements to Lusa, the president of the board of the Association of freight Forwarders of Portugal (Apat), Paulo Paiva, explained that the means of screening of cargo are insufficient in quantity and also in quality, since there has been no investment in this sector.

This problem can mean a diversion of business, says Paulo Paiva

“Since mid-November, the scenario is load heaped and scattered by the terminal, outside the security perimeter, whose packaging and good condition not have been properly guaranteed by the entities of the airport,” he added.

THE APAT refers to is “there are more than 30 years to hear about intentions to solve the problems of the airport infrastructure national”, referring to that which is lost “numerous business opportunities”.

Paulo Paiva warned that there are a number of companies to take their business to Spain and to other countries due to the lack of responsiveness in the two main national airports: “it is Not a threat, it’s a reality,” he said.

“The cargo terminals, a fundamental part of any airport, does not meet the necessary conditions to boost the competitiveness of Portuguese exports”, criticized.

“it Is natural that the option of the buyers are secure in the entities that are able to gather the logistics conditions that allow to place the product on the markets to respect, making it imperative to say them, under the penalty of continuing to watch the deviation in these businesses to Spain and to the countries of northern Europe,” he warned.
