Ordinance No. 428/2026 authorizes an extraordinary financial support of up to 4 million euros to reimburse VAT borne and not recovered by social solidarity institutions with projects financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The Regional Secretariat for Finance and the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth have published Ordinance No. 428/2026, of September 3rd, which authorizes the budgetary charges for an extraordinary financial support scheme called "PRR-RAM VAT Support".
This support, which will be granted through a Resolution of the Regional Government Council, is specifically intended for private social solidarity institutions (IPSS) and equivalent entities. The objective is to reimburse the Value Added Tax (VAT) that these entities have borne and have not been able to recover in the context of the execution of projects financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
The details of the authorized support are as follows:
The ordinance establishes that the support is a non-repayable financial reimbursement and is exclusive for VAT actually borne, provided it is not deductible, has not been refunded, and is not subject to another public reimbursement.
For the year 2026, the expenditure of €4,413,164.00 has a specific budgetary allocation in the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth. The allocation for 2027 will be included in the budget for that respective year. The ordinance takes immediate effect.
The Region has updated the unit rates of the tax on petroleum and energy products applicable to unleaded petrol, road diesel and coloured and marked diesel. The new rates take effect on 19 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.
The Administrative Council of the Madeira Legislative Assembly approved a 52,000-euro adjustment to expenditure in its own budget. The measure is intended to ensure that expenditure is correctly allocated according to its economic nature.
