Did you know that you can assign a percentage of your Portuguese income tax to a charitable organisation, like Make-A-Wish, at no extra cost?

It is true and it is very easy to do it! Your help will make all the difference in bringing back hope and joy to children with critical illnesses.

1. Login to Portal das Finanças
2. Go to Menu > Cidadãos > IRS > IRS Automático
3. In the “Pré-Liquidação” area, check the box indicating that you wish to allocate 1% of your IRS (income tax)
