I had an excellent experience with Dr. Correia. From the first contact, he demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and a true commitment to my case. He explained all the details patiently, kept me informed throughout the process, and always sought the best solution. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, competent, and dedicated lawyer!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the advantages of incorporating a company in the Madeira Free Trade Zone (CINM)?
The Madeira International Business Centre (CINM) offers one of Europe's most competitive tax regimes, approved by the EU. Key advantages include:
-
Reduced Corporate Income Tax (IRC): 5% on taxable profits (up to certain limits);
-
Withholding Tax Exemption: On dividend payments to non-resident shareholders (under specific conditions);
-
Stamp Duty and IMT Benefits: Exemptions or reductions on real estate transaction taxes. Important: To benefit from this regime, companies must meet economic substance requirements, namely the creation of at least one local job position (Madeira resident). We assist with incorporation and the verification of these compliance requirements.
2. My company has debtors with overdue invoices: how does the Payment Order (Injunção) procedure work?
The Payment Order (Injunção) is a fast and effective legal mechanism for collecting commercial debts.
-
How does it work? We submit an application to the National Payment Order Office (Balcão Nacional de Injunções). The debtor is then notified to pay.
-
If the debtor does not contest: The order gains immediate enforceable status (força executiva), allowing us to proceed directly to the seizure of bank accounts or assets through an Enforcement Agent. It is the ideal solution for SMEs with cash flow issues resulting from client defaults.
3. What types of employment contracts should I use to reduce risks in my company?
The right choice of contract prevents future disputes in the Labor Court. The most common options are:
-
Fixed-Term Contract (Contrato a Termo Certo): For temporary business needs (e.g., tourism peaks in Madeira). It has a maximum duration and renewal limits;
-
Permanent Contract (Contrato Sem Termo): Offers more stability but may include a Trial Period (from 90 to 240 days, depending on the role), during which the contract can be terminated without compensation if the worker does not meet expectations.
4. What should I verify before signing a Promissory Purchase and Sale Agreement (CPCV) in Madeira?
Signing a CPCV without prior legal analysis is one of the greatest financial risks you can take. Among other elements, it is essential to analyze:
-
Land Registry Certificate (Certidão Permanente): To confirm the true owner and check for any liens, charges, or mortgages on the property;
-
Usage License (Licença de Utilização): Essential to ensure the property is legal and to secure bank financing;
-
Property Tax File (Caderneta Predial): To verify the property's tax and land registry status.
