A tax partner from Spanish giant Garrigues has been appointed as a minister within the new Portuguese coalition government.
Paulo Núncio will now act as the Secretary of State for tax matters. The executive arm is tasked with undertaking Portugal’s austerity measures.
The executive team will confront the challenging task of safeguarding the reputation of Portugal as a committed economic member of the EU after the recent €78bn (£70bn) bail-out by the EU and the International Monetary Fund.
Núncio joined Garrigues’ Lisbon office in 2007 as a specialist in international and domestic corporate and financial taxation.
