Aljezur council voted to lower council tax rates at the first meeting of the new term for the socialist leadership.
Mayor José Amarelinho said the council tax reduction takes into account "the difficult situation that families have in the current crisis, with a high tax burden that is expected to go up next year, with more cuts in wages and pensions."
The council commented that, "the rigour imposed on our financial management has meant we can alleviate in some small way the tax burden on our citizens."
Aljezur has set a rate of 0.35% - the maximum rate could have been 0.8 %.
