In this episode, Tytle’s tax expert examines Portugal’s efforts to combat brain drain through targeted tax incentives. The discussion begins with an overview of the factors driving young professionals to leave Portugal, including low wages, limited career opportunities, and high living costs, despite the country’s economic recovery.
The episode explores the government’s new tax incentive program, which offers income tax exemptions for individuals aged 18 to 35. This includes a 100% exemption in the first year of employment, gradually decreasing over the following years. While these measures aim to retain young talent, their effectiveness in addressing systemic issues is questioned.
Additional topics include comparisons with how other countries, like Ireland and Estonia, tackle brain drain through comprehensive strategies that go beyond tax breaks. The episode also highlights critics’ concerns that these incentives may benefit only a small group and fail to resolve the broader economic challenges contributing to emigration.
