DESK REVIEW | 09.01.07. Duty rebates

There is the Law Project N. 61 (2017) which is under consideration and establishes that people with Alzheimer’s disease will receive income tax waivers (Brazilian Federal Congress, 2017). While this matter has not been decided in court, many people living with Alzheimer’s disease have pleaded for the tax waiver in court and have obtained it.

Not applicable as there is no valued-added tax or other type of consumption tax in Hong Kong.

There are no universal tax rebates in place in Mexico; however, some local governments have special tax rebate programs for older adults. For example, Mexico City has a 30% reduction in property tax (paid yearly) for pensioners and older adults (60 years and older).

There is no mechanism in place specifically for persons living with dementia. Pensioners (i.e., 60 years and over) in South Africa, however, enjoy discounted TV-licence rebates.
