The Portal do Contribuinte entry for the Imposto sobre a Aplicacao de Capitais (IAC), the tax on income from the simple application of capital, never mentions crypto, virtual or digital assets. That page splits taxable income into two sections. Section A covers interest on loaned capital, credit contract income and late-payment income, taxed at 15%. Section B covers profits paid to shareholders, bond and treasury bill interest, royalties, gambling and lottery prizes, and gains on the disposal of shareholdings or other income subject to IAC that is not subject to Industrial Tax or IRT, taxed as a rule at 10%, with 5% for income admitted to trading on a regulated market. The page does not say whether a gain on selling bitcoin falls under IAC, under another tax, or outside both, so no rate on this page can be read as a bitcoin rate.
