In this context, MNCs exploited gaps and differences between tax systems in order to reduce the tax burden. As a result, the taxation became an area of attention and highly considered as a key factor in the decision of internationalization. The present study aims to identify the countries where the Portuguese companies normally invest, and how taxation influence that decision of investment. With this objective, a comparative analysis between the Portuguese tax system and the tax system of the country where the Portuguese companies more invest in was made.

  • Ombudsman's Annual Report
    CUSTOMER OMBUDSMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT EDP 2016 OMBUDSMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT 1 I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the activities carried out in 2016, a year marked by many changes in Portuguese society, in the EDP Group and in relation to customer preferences and options. The EDP Group's Client Ombudsman continues to be the ombudsman of the European Union that most enhances the proximity to consumers through its online portal. Also, it has the fastest appraisal processes since the average time for issuing an opinion relative to each complaint was 10 days, which contrasts with the usual 2, 3 or more months of ombudsmen of other groups/companies present in different EU countries. I am grateful for the collaboration I have always received from the EDP Group and, in particular, from all consumers who have sought assistance from the Client Ombudsman, for their purposeful and constructive attitude which has greatly contributed to overcoming difficulties and regaining their trust.

  • Management Report 2014
    Dear Stakeholders, In 2014, EDP Renováveis once again performed above the market and made steps toward fulfilling its vision of growing into a leading global renewable energy company in terms of value creation, innovation and sustainability. Six years after the company’s IPO, EDPR reached 9.0 GW of renewable energy capacity, and produced 19.8 TWh in the year. The company is now present in 12 countries across Europe and the Americas. The green energy delivered in 2014 by EDPR corresponds to nearly 50% of the total electricity consumption of the country of Portugal, which is nearly triple the company’s energy sales in 2008 and demonstrates EDPR’s ability to deliver growth on a global scale. The strategic roadmap of focused growth in renewable energy pursued by EDPR and its shareholders puts us a step ahead of the industry and continues to prove successful. I remain certain that our company is playing on the right side of the energy sector, despite a recent regulatory environment with some unexpected setbacks culminating in significant cuts to regulated revenue as well as tax increases. Wind onshore is the most competitive source of energy, with the only exception of large hydro in some cases. It is clearly a preferable technology today to conventional thermal generation on a new-build basis. Even at presently low fuel prices, yet historically very volatile, wind farms with strong load factors are still competitive. Moreover, turbine costs and financing costs are improving in favour of wind energy. In 2014 we saw EU leaders agreeing on targets for 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% compared to 1990 and to increase the share of renewable energy to at least 27%.
