Ordinance No. 518/2026 increases financial support to compensate for non-recoverable VAT for social institutions and expands the scope to include projects of the Regional Health Service funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR).
The Regional Government of Madeira has approved an increase and expansion of the extraordinary financial support scheme intended to compensate for Value Added Tax (VAT) borne by private social solidarity institutions (IPSS) and equivalent entities. The change was published through Ordinance No. 518/2026, of September 4.
This decree amends Ordinance No. 428/2026, which initially authorized a maximum global amount of 4 million euros to support non-recoverable VAT within projects financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), specifically in the investment "Strengthening Social Responses".
The main changes introduced are:
The ordinance takes immediate effect, aiming to ensure the necessary financial support for the execution of PRR projects in the social and health areas, mitigating the impact of non-recoverable VAT for these entities.
A correction notice amends the amount stated in the summary of an amendment to the Madeira Legislative Assembly's private budget. The correct figure is 52,000 euros, not 512,000 euros.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira has changed the unit rates of the tax on petroleum and energy products applicable to petrol, road diesel and marked coloured diesel. The new rates take effect from 26 October 2026.
The Regional Government Council approved a proposal to change the income tax rates applicable to residents of the Region. The bill will be submitted to the Legislative Assembly of Madeira under an urgent procedure.
