In the report accompanying the proposed State Budget for 2027 (OE2027), the tax on tobacco consumption is estimated to yield €1,864 million in 2027, €139 million more than estimated for the full year 2026.

As for the tax on alcohol, alcoholic beverages and beverages with added sugar or sweeteners (IABA), it should yield €392 million, €27 million more than projected for 2026.

Value estimates

For both the tobacco tax and IABA, the estimated full-year 2026 value will exceed the amount budgeted in the same year's proposed budget.

In this context, revenue growth from these same taxes will exceed the estimated growth from 2025 to 2026.

His interests include national politics, Portuguese culture and society, and a broad range of current affairs. Outside of work, Bruno loves to travel and considers himself a theatre kid at heart. He is also passionate about music and, at gatherings, will happily take on the role of resident DJ, doing his best to play the greatest 90s R&B hits — with Mariah Carey being a particular favourite. Classic Portuguese literature is another guilty pleasure, with Eça de Queiroz holding a special place among his favourite authors.
