The Madeira Regional Government has amended the unit rates of the Tax on Petroleum and Energy Products (ISP), effective from September 14, 2026.
A joint ordinance from the Regional Secretariats of Economy and Finance has been published, implementing a specific change to the rates of the Tax on Petroleum and Energy Products (ISP) applicable in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
Ordinance No. 520/2026, of September 10, amends Ordinance No. 10/2015, updating the values that had been in force since Ordinance No. 418/2026, of August 28. The decree enters into force the day after its publication, but its financial effects only begin to apply from September 14, 2026.
