Hi everyone ! I wanted to know if someone can correct my redaction. In fact, for
training my English, I translated a French article that I found on the Internet.
Thanks in advance !!! My translation :
In the past 10 years, Portugal has attracted a
new population. The number of French residents in Portugal, numbering 15,000 in 2010, is currently over 80,000, with the last wave of immigrants due to the COVID crisis. In addition, the democratization of teleworking has forced some families to move to Portugal.
This situation has
started to alarm some researchers, who began analyzing the impact of this
phenomenon in the State budget (do you mean the national budget?). Rita de la Faria at the University of Leeds was surprised by the result of the investigations that she did with (researcher? They need to be identified by profession, such as "Researcher Rita de la Faria") Giorgia
Maffin, "...because the people arriving are those with the highest revenues (I think you mean incomes or salaries) in
their country. So their leaving had an effect on the resources of their country of
origin, even though there was a low number of arrivals (arrivals is not the right word. I think you mean immigrants?), as these people were those paying the highest taxes. For example, in the United-Kingdom, we
have seen that 140 000 emigrants are sufficient for the country to lose billions
of euros."
This is an estimation that could be the same for other European countries.
According to the researchers, this fiscal "dumping" can ravage the
public finances, as is the case with the fiscal offloading that is practiced in
other European countries, like Luxembourg or the Netherlands, for the social taxes (? Not actually sure what you mean here). However, this aggressive fiscal policy is exercised not only in Portugal, but also
in other countries, such as Greece, Croatia, and Spain.
