Sure, but the social security contributions and tax rates vary wildly based on who your employer is, etc. so it's misleading to claim it's 88% without specifying the specific conditions. Also, according to the WikiPedia page, none of the Social Security Contribution rates are exactly 35%. Would you care to share the exact conditions? I don't read this the same way: can you point to which "Social Security Regime" on the WikiPedia page you believe this falls under?
- JetSpiegel 3y agoIf you are a contractor with a Portuguese entity, you can use a special regime called Recibos Verdes, that means the social security payments are smaller and independent of your salary, I think 100€ per month is the minimum. This was a loophole by many companies used to avoid having "real" employees, and there have been crackdowns on this, it's mostly for temporary contractors. If you have 3 years of concurrent "temporary" contracts with the same entity, you must ve registered as an employee.
