Questions and answers

How do I get Portuguese stamp duty on a property purchase (Imposto do Selo, 0.8%)?

Only the person concerned can obtain it, directly from Tax and Customs Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira, AT). Issued in the same flow as IMT: Portal das Finanças → Iniciar Sessão → search 'IMT' → Modelo 1 declaration → the system issues a separate Imposto do Selo payment document. Notaries, lawyers, solicitors and Casa Pronta desks can file it. The operator pays the reference.
