This company based in Portugal since 2009 has been expanding its business into international markets, taking advantage from the growth of some emerging markets through means of local partnerships. The international dimension is part of its DNA, since its four founding partners are of different nationalities. João is Portuguese, Carlos is Angolan, Alfonso is from Spain and Walter from Belgium. Each one of them hold 25% of the company’s capital.
For the first time, and due to the company’s good results, the four members are considering to start distributing dividends. However, their doubts about how much taxes they will pay are preventing them to go ahead with the decision. In addition to their different nationalities, João and Walter’s share of the “Profit and Gains Ltd.” capital is done through other companies they have created, so that they could invest in other companies.

The Portuguese tax regime for non-habitual residents is motivating high net worth individuals, pensioners and high value added professionals to relocate to Portugal, either on a permanent or on a temporary and expatriate basis.

Non-habitual resident individuals may enjoy such status for a ten-year period, after which they will be taxed under the standard regime. This regime may grant an exemption or reduced rate on foreign source income as well as a limited taxation on Portuguese domestic source income deriving from high value added activities.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
