Stamp Duty Changings!

Government is considering an end to the stamp duty tax in the Budget for this year.The Government wants to use the proposed State Budget for 2010 to advance the elimination of charging stamp duty on purchase and donation of property and its acquisition charge.Under this tax, should also disappear settlements in the leases, the allocations, a significant number of notarial acts (such as wills or heirs of education) and capital increases at companies.

Provided that was was announced by the Government takes place, seems that soon all new property buyers will feel a decrease on the tax to be paid upon the purchase moment.

The Stamp Duty tax is of 0,8% over the purchase cost meaning that a in property bought for 200.000 Eur., the property buyer will pay less 1.600 Eur. !

This change will have effect after application of new Budget for 2010, normally happening in February/March.

The advance of the sea in recent days prompted the president of the parish of Foz do, Fernando Horta, to ask the Civil Governor of Leiria, Paiva de Carvalho, the Monitoring Committee of the Lagoon "meets a matter of urgency." At issue is the possible danger of collapse of the outfall that carries the effluents of the municipality of Caldas da Rainha. "The tide is above the outfall and not yet excavated, but when you download let's see if the tube is not new to be discovered and are not likely to leave," said Fernando Horta. The advance of the sea is also causing a rise in water levels in the area of the docks, which were this morning "about half a meter box interception of emissary" and "Curb destroyed part of the bike lane" next to a zone stalls selling seafood. The waters of the West (the operating company by Multimunicipal Water Supply and Sanitation in the West) today assured the Lusa that will continue to monitor the north bank of the Lagoon and the sea front and "take the necessary emergency measures to that the structural integrity and operational system to the North Interceptor Lagoon and Obidos and Exutores Submarine Foz do will not be affected by the retreat of the shoreline. " The company has since January 2009, monitored the progress of the sea (and lake) in the vicinity of submarine flow points of Foz do and Interceptor General of the North Rim of the Lagoon, through detailed surveys of the entire line Coast on the beach of Foz do and limit the basin of the Lagoon, along the Avenue of the Sea and to the nearby port of the car park. In mid-December the company made an intervention as a matter of emergency in the area, where a stretch of about 30 meters from the interceptor was partially uncovered in front of the bar "Cais da Praia. But Fernando Horta showed up today convinced that "the sand has been placed all washed away, raising concerns the mayor to" what might happen if there is a rapid response. "
