Hi Geoff. try http://www.observatoriodoalgarve.com there is a small amount of information. Click on the english version & go into economy on left hand side of page. Cheers Jayjan

I feel this topic should have been left on the Algarve forum and not moved to ex pats/owners abroad as it only applies to property rentals in Portugal/Algarve & we may get more response & information. Will it be open to replies on both forums?. The majority of topics on Ex pats are from owners in Spain & the Canaries. Cheers Jayjan

I agree, i also understand the Algarve Resident are to publish some more information on this subject after the recent outcry to the
government.

Hi Jeff, dont no whether you know but you can read the resident online, @ http://www.portugalresident.com Cheers Jayjan
