Just received my IMI bill and very pleasantly surprised. The IMI rate has been cut from 0.50% to 0.35% meaning quite a significant drop in price for this year.

So one or two more beers may be consumed?

I haven't had mine yet.

Going by previous form, if you don't have the bill with you, they wont let you pay it...

It doesn't appear on there until after it's been posted. Not got ours yet.

Just looked at the Financa's website and our IMI for this year (i.e. 2015) is showing so presumably it's in the post.
As reported above by bob d, compared to last year it has gone down and by exactly 30%.
Last year (i.e. 2014 IMI) our combined total was 351.06 (175.53 each) and this year (2015 IMI) it's gone down to 245.74 (122.87 each).
So that's a 105.32 reduction - we only pay once a year in April.

Whilst I'm happy about this I must admit that I find it a very strange decision as I'm now going to pay less than the 253.04 (126.52 each) we paid in 2012 (2011 IMI).
It then went up in 2013 (2012 IMI) to 351.06 due property revaluation.

Anybody know what the reason or logic of this is?

"Anybody know what the reason or logic of this is?"

The council has paid back in full a loan of 16 million Euros, which meant no more interest payments in 2015

According to this article http://www.cm-albufeira.pt/content/munic-pio-de-albufeira-reduz-taxas-para-ajudar-munic-pes-fam-lias-e-empresas they have also tightened up on costs and reduced taxes paid.

Some small business taxes are also reduced.

Thanks for the info Tom.
Still think it's a strange decision to go back to levels that are below what we paid in 2011.
Surely there must have been wage rises, inflation etc since 2011?
Would it not have made more sense to keep it at current levels and spend the extra on things like cleaning out drains, repairing pavements etc.

Ours was revalued in 2012 and increased substantially  and  was revalued again last year (Due to selling) and was  informed by financas that the VPT has  increased yet again. We are  still liable for the   2015 IMI  and are now awaiting the bills arriving through our door in UK, but nice to know the percentage has dropped from 0.50% to 0.35%  so  hopefully the  decrease in  percentage  will counteract the  increase in our  VPT   on the IMI payable.

After you've logged in the next page you come to has this on the right hand side, just below your name & NIF number



Click on the first option - Situacao fiscal integrada

You then get a page that has this more or less in the centre



Click on the Yellow Box/Triangle/IMI and your IMI - Ano de 2015 should be showing there.

Thats if your registered  Stuart123 with financas website  and have a password to access it . I asked about this at financas 2 years ago thinking they could do it there and then  in the  office , they said no. You have to register online and then they send you a password by post so you can access.  it Is that correct Dicey or have i been given wrong info?

Yes that's right. Can't remember exactly how I registered as it was a long time ago but I do remember that it involved waiting for a password in the post.
