As the new year unfolds, residents and businesses in Madeira must stay informed about the fiscal obligations set by the tax authorities for January 2026. Key deadlines include vehicle tax payments and VAT-related submissions.

As Madeira welcomes the new year, both residents and businesses are reminded of their fiscal responsibilities for January 2026. The local tax authorities have outlined a series of important dates and deadlines that must be adhered to in order to avoid penalties.

Key Fiscal Obligations for January 2026

The Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira has published the fiscal agenda for January, highlighting several crucial deadlines:

  • By February 2: Payment of the Imposto Único de Circulação (IUC) for vehicles registered in January.
  • January 5: Deadline for the submission of invoice details issued in the previous month or a statement of their absence for VAT-registered individuals and entities.
  • January 12: Submission deadline for the Monthly Wage Statement related to December's income tax (IRS).
  • January 20: Final date for submitting VAT declarations for transactions conducted in November under the normal monthly regime.
  • January 20: Deadline for submitting withheld IRS/IRC amounts for December.

These deadlines are crucial for maintaining compliance with local tax laws and avoiding late fees. The IUC, or Single Circulation Tax, is an annual vehicle tax based on the registration date, while the VAT (Value Added Tax) and IRS (Personal Income Tax) submissions ensure that businesses and individuals report their financial activities accurately.

It's essential for everyone in Madeira to stay on top of these deadlines to ensure smooth financial operations throughout the year.
