Statistics Portugal (SP) releases the Income statistics at the local level based on anonymized fiscal data from the Tax and Customs Authority (AT) related to the Settlement note of Personal Income Tax (IRS – Modelo 3), obtained under an agreement between AT and SP.

This edition begins the dissemination of the results of Income Statistics at the local level according to the new Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics: NUTS 2024

The results presented in this publication are based on the values of Gross reported income, of Personal income paid tax and of the derivate variable of Gross reported income less personal income paid tax by tax household and by taxable person. The analysis is focused in 2022, last year with information provided to Statistics Portugal, however data for 2020 and 2021 is also presented. 

The results are structured in summary files for the municipalities with 2 000 or more taxable persons and for the 26 NUTS 3 sub-regions of the country.

This initiative is part of the development framework of the National Data Infrastructure (IND) at Statistics Portugal, which is the corollary of a path that has been pursued in recent years in integrating data from different sources. The Income Statistics at local level, resulting from the use of administrative sources, are intended to contribute to the interpretation of the territorial diversity of local income distribution.
