Dear Ally_Cat,

The taxation depends on many factors. If both are 'dependent' works, or a 'Individual self-worker'. If you have children, how many, if you have health expenses and, of course, the amount of money you get (taxes vary). If you earn the minimum salary, you'll pay nothing. I'll leave you the retention table for couple with one children:

Montly Salary Retention (%)
until 580聙 0,00%
until 587聙 1,00%
until 633聙 2,00%
until 675聙 3,00%
until 726聙 4,00%
until 801聙 5,00%
until 907聙 6,00%
until 988聙 7,00%
until 1.048聙 8,00%
until 1.124聙 9,00%
until 1.205聙 10,00%
until 1.300聙 12,00%
until 1.401聙 13,00%
until 1.537聙 14,00%

Hello Ally_Cat,

38% would be wonderful ..... 25.000聙 a month.
Well, don't forget it's a retention table, doesn't mean you'll pay 38% applied to the whole year salary.
There's something that's intriguing me .... you moved from Qatar to Portugal. Whyyyyyyyyy? Do you like to suffer of Tax-attack?
Hope everything goes ok.
Cheers.
