What taxes are associated with the consumption of propane gas?

The following taxes and charges are associated with the consumption of propane gas:

CO2 emission tax (tax on the emission of carbon dioxide gas) 

Article 92-A of the Code of Excise Duties (CIEC), approved by Decree-Law 73/2010 of 21 June, establishes that some oil and energy products are also subject to a surcharge on CO2 emissions. 

Currently, the surcharge on CO2 emissions is €163.26 per tonne of LPG.

ISP is defined in the Code of Excise Duties (CIEC) and is levied on petroleum products used as motor fuel or as fuel, and on hydrocarbons used as fuel (except peat).

Currently, the ISP rate applicable to propane gas is set at €7.99 per 1,000 kg.

 

VAT (Value Added Tax) 

 VAT is a tax applied to sales or services provided in Portugal.

GAS INSPECTIONS

 

Who is responsible for arranging and paying for gas inspections?

It is up to the owner or user of the gas installation or appliance to arrange for the inspection and pay for it.

 

Exceptions:

 - Common parts of the building, which are the responsibility of the condominium;

- Leased apartments, when the respective contract transfers responsibility to the tenant, who is also responsible for the inspection of gas appliances that he/she purchases and has installed;

- In processes to convert or reconvert gas installations, as these are the responsibility of the organisation contracting the work.
