There has been an assumption that an incentive for "Portuguese returning home" (or legally accurately, people who lived before in Portugal returning to Portugal after more than 5 years) that provides a 50% discount on income taxes from work for 5 years will be offered to people who never lived in Portugal before.
During the budget deliberation, an amendment reinstating the condition of having lived in Portugal before has been approved.
Therefore, the "programma regressar" (50% for 5 years) will not be available for new tax residents.
