Amounts invested by taxpayers after the date of retirement are not deductible for tax purposes.

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.
