Fivefolding IMI For Luxury Villa in Ponta Delgada

Miguel Albuquerque, owner of a luxury villa in Ponta Delgada located by the sea, is facing a significant 436% increase in Municipal Property Tax (IMI). His annual payment now amounts to 531 euros per year, up from the previous 99 euros. This considerable rise is attributed to the new property's tax asset value, which stands at 177,149 euros, compared to the previous construction's value of 33,214 euros.

Albuquerque Does Not Contest The Raise

Apparently, according to Correio da ManhĂŁ, the prior value was attributed to the building that Albuquerque bought for 120.000 euros and which then got destroyed to build a new luxury estate. Despite the substantial increase in taxes, Albuquerque accepts the property evaluation and has chosen not to contest it.
