"Quando se discute a tributação sobre as empresas, é frequente ouvir-se o argumento de que Portugal tem a taxa estatutária mais alta da União Europeia. Mas a verdade é que é muito difícil - para não dizer impossível - encontrar uma empresa que a pague. Quando olhamos para taxa média efetiva - isto é, a taxa que as empresas pagam efetivamente, depois de descontados os benefícios e deduções -, o valor é muito inferior: em 2023, foi de 18,5%, de acordo com os dados mais recentes da Autoridade Tributária.
As taxas de imposto que as empresas pagam efetivamente não só são bastante mais baixas do que a taxa máxima, como têm vindo a diminuir em praticamente todos os setores da economia nos últimos dez anos. Neste cenário, é difícil argumentar que uma nova redução marginal do IRC tenham um impacto muito expressivo sobre o investimento do setor privado.
Tendo isso em conta, a questão que se coloca é: quem ganha verdadeiramente com a medida? Quando olhamos para os dados da AT sobre a distribuição do IRC liquidado por dimensão das empresas, o que vemos é que mais de metade da receita é paga pelas empresas com volume de negócio superior a 25 milhões de euros, que representam... menos de 1% do tecido empresarial do país.
Além disso, se olharmos para o IRC liquidado por setor de atividade, mais de metade da receita é proveniente de cinco setores: o setor financeiro, o imobiliário, a construção, o alojamento e restauração e o comércio.
Estes dados dizem-nos duas coisas:
1. Uma redução do IRC beneficia de forma desproporcional as grandes empresas;
2. A maior parte dos ganhos concentra-se em setores com pouco potencial para a transformação estrutural da economia e que, com níveis de receita e de lucros avultados nos últimos anos, não precisam de incentivos."

Quem ganha com a descida dos impostos às empresas?
A redução do IRC tem sido apresentada como solução para pôr a economia a crescer, mas a eficácia desta estratégia é, no mínimo, duvidosa.Vicente Ferreira (Reverso da Moeda)

FOX: Do you think it would've made a difference here if the president hasn't said anything about the Qatari plane? Meaning if it just came in, the jet got flown to the Pentagon, and then we heard about it when we heard about it?

@slyka So far, my results show neither heat nor UV damage to the agar coating when no sensitizer is present. I did one further sensitized contact print at 45 minutes exposure and had some blistering in the most well developed shadows and some emulsion lift on an edge during rinsing. I skipped the build plate drying step and did get a qualified success. The blisters dried into emulsion lumps. You can’t see the lumps in this photo, only from the side.
More tests coming.
The image shows a blue-toned photograph held by a person's fingers, placed on a lined notebook page. The photograph depicts a person walking away from the camera, carrying a long object over their shoulder and a bag in their hand. The person is wearing a plaid dress and dark shoes. The background features a brick building with large windows. The photograph has handwritten Japanese characters on the left side, and the bottom right corner includes the text "VENDORS DAN 100." The overall tone of the photograph is monochromatic, with a blue tint, giving it a vintage appearance.

The video depicts a snake with a patterned body, moving slowly across a dry, rocky terrain. The snake's body is elongated, with a series of dark and light segments, blending with the earthy tones of the environment. The background features sparse vegetation, including small green bushes and scattered dead branches, set against a backdrop of a rocky hillside. The ground is a mix of reddish-brown soil and patches of dry grass, with the snake's movement being the primary action throughout the video. The lighting suggests a sunny day, casting shadows that highlight the textures of the snake's scales and the roughness of the terrain. The snake's movement is subtle, with its body undulating as it progresses across the landscape. The video maintains a consistent focus on the snake's movement, with no significant changes in the environment or the snake's behavior, emphasizing the natural setting and the snake's interaction with its surroundings.
