Madeira Free Trade Zone extended to 2033 - new licences until 31-12-2026
Summary
Parliament approved the extension of the IBC / Madeira Free Trade Zone regime: companies already licensed keep the 5% IRC until 31 Dec 2033; new licences can be issued until 31 Dec 2026 and also benefit until 2033.
What this means for you
A time-limited window: founders have until 31 Dec 2026 to secure a new IBC licence. Licences issued after 2026 fall back to the standard IRC regime, unless the law is extended again.
