I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this (as this seems to be a Portuguese language only community), but Portugal is trailing behind with only 3.5% of the 14.805 Portuguese signatures necessary. If there is a place better for this feel free to pint me to it (or crosspost it there yourself)

If the petition reaches 1 million signatures, the European Commission is legally required to at least introduce it as a proposed law.

I guess this was your source: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/portugal/individual/taxes-on-personal-income

It's a good read for all non-Portuguese people and also because there's already an extra tax for the ultra-rich:

Additional solidarity rate In 2024, an additional solidarity rate, which varies between 2.5% and 5%, applies to taxpayers with a taxable income exceeding EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000, respectively.

I was reading gov.pt but this is better for Lemmy since it’s in English. And yea I agree. I also don’t think €80.000 is “ultra rich” by any means lol, especially with our taxes you wouldn’t be living a luxurious life in Lisbon with that nowadays. 250k+ it makes sense.
