Starting this year and every year, boat owners will have to pay between 100 and 200 euros, depending on the length of the vessel.
However, the submission of the tax declaration on Class B vessels in a special application of the Taxisnet system must be made by September 26. The amount to be confirmed must be paid in one installment by September 30.
According to article 46 of Law 5.036/2023, all small and medium-sized maritime vessels and ships, professional or private – with the exception only of fishing vessels and tugboats whose operating time in maritime transport services does not exceed 50% of their total operating time – they have to pay class B ship tax every year.
More specifically:
- 100 euros for boats up to 7 meters long and
- 200 euros if the length varies between 7 and 12 meters.
The measure also applies to taxpayers who own private recreational vessels (simple boats, inflatable boats, speedboats, etc.). The same obligation to submit a tax return on class B vessels applies to charterers or chartering companies of vessels under a simple chartering regime, as well as to lessees or leasing companies of vessels under a financial leasing regime.
