Joaquim Pedro Lampreia talks to Jornal de Negócios

Joaquim Pedro Lampreia, Vieira de Almeida & Associados (VdA)'s managing associate talked to Jornal de Negócios newspaper about the fact that "the tax exemption of stamp duty applicable to cooperatives was widened in the State Budget Law and it now also encompasses interest and bank commissions, although the State was prevented from establishing new tax exemptions". According to VdA's lawyer from the Tax area of practice, "we might argue that the previous existing exemption was in need of a redrafting, but there is unquestionable that this redrafting turned out to be an enlargement of the tax exemption."
