Short answer
There may be tax incentives and support schemes for buying a primary home, such as reduced IMT rates for young buyers or specific regional programs, but these change frequently. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, income and the property. Check the Portuguese Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária) website and the Azores Regional Government for current information. Always confirm with a local accountant or lawyer before relying on any benefit.
