Urban simplex: new tax measures and impact on the real estate sector in Portugal

The Government has approved a new set of fiscal and administrative measures with a direct impact on the real estate sector, reinforcing the urban Simplex and introducing changes with the aim of making processes more agile and predictable.

In a context where efficiency is increasingly crucial, these measures seek to reduce bureaucracy, simplify licensing and speed up the execution of projects, creating a more favourable environment for developers, investors and owners.

With these measures, it is a question: 

• Simplification of administrative procedures
• Reduction of deadlines in urban licensing
• Fiscal adjustments with an impact on construction and investment
• Reinforcement of predictability in processes

This new framework represents a relevant step towards increasing efficiency in responding to housing demand, reducing uncertainty in development processes and stimulating investment in the real estate sector, consequently increasing market competitiveness.

Thus, it is a structural evolution that seeks to align the sector with the current demands for agility, transparency and execution capacity.

At Mulberry Real Estate, we closely monitor these changes, helping clients and investors interpret their impact and make informed decisions.
