The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has vetoed the program Mais Habitação, according to the note released this Monday on the website of the Presidency of the Republic.
“The President of the Republic returned, without promulgation, the decision approving measures in the field of housing to the Assembly of the Republic, making several amendments to the law,” the note said.
The Mais Habitação program was approved in parliament on July 19 in a final general vote, with only the PS bank voting in favor of the legislative package moving forward with changes in leasing, licensing or local accommodation.
PSD, Chega, Iniciativa Liberal, PCP and BE voted against, while Livre and PAN chose to abstain, on a final voting day in which the opposition parties still called for proposals to change this package, but ultimately failed again as it had happened in the specialty.
After the diploma went to the Belém Palace, there was much anticipation about what Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa would do regarding this proposal.
The only doubt that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa rejected was the possibility of sending the diploma to the Constitutional Court, adding that he would not do this, but left the veto on the table, on the day when the deadline to appeal ended up with the judges of the Palace, Ratton.
Mais Habitação foresees, among other things, a capital gains tax exemption for owners who sell houses to the state, the end of new ‘golden’ visas, an increase in the deduction per dependent person under the Family IMI, changes to the autonomous rate of real estate income and tax exemptions for owners withdrawing their homes from local accommodation by the end of 2024.
In the local housing sector, an extraordinary contribution and the suspension of registration of new housing outside low-density areas (especially inland areas) were also approved, controversial and controversial measures, such as the forced renting of houses that has been in place for more than two years.
