Tax regime on redemption
The taxation of the income obtained in the PPR depends on the manner in which the redemption is made:
- In the form of Capital (even in case of reimbursement due to the death of the Insured Person):
The income is taxed autonomously by withholding at the rate of 20%, but only on two-fifths of its value, which corresponds to an effective rate of 8% (under Article 21, paragraph 3, al. b) of the Statute of Tax Benefits).
When the reimbursement occurs outside of any of the situations foreseen by law (article 4, nos. 1 to 4, of Decree Law 158/2002, of July 2), the income is determined according to the rules applicable to capitalization insurance (article 21, no. 5 of the EBF), and taxed autonomously, by withholding at a rate of 21.5%, depending on the time of reimbursement, under the following terms:
If the amount of the deliveries made in the first half of the term of the contract represents at least 35% of the total amounts applied:
1. If the repayment occurs after 8 years of the contract's duration, only two fifths of the income is taxed, which corresponds to an effective rate of 8,6% (*);
2. If the redemption occurs between the 5th and 8th year of the contract, four fifths of the income is taxed, which corresponds to an effective rate of 17,2% (*);
3. If repayment takes place before the 5th year of the contract, all income is taxed at an effective rate of 21,5%.
(*) provided that the amount of the amounts applied in the 1st half of the contract's term represents at least 35% of the total amounts applied.
- In the form of an annuity (even in case of reimbursement due to the death of the Insurance Holder):
If regular and periodic benefits are attributed, the taxation regime corresponding to Category H of the IRS (pensions) will be applied, including the rules on withholding at source.
If regular and periodic benefits are granted outside the situations foreseen in art. 4, nºs 1 to 4, of Decree Law nº 158/2002, of July 2, the refund is taxed according to the rules described in the previous paragraph regarding the equivalent situation.
