“Repugnant”: more criticism of government’s tax-dodge solution

We aren’t told yet which taxes the “lucky” winners will be liable for; but let’s assume IVA on the car at least, almost surely the hefty Portuguese registration tax for new cars, and most likely the value of the vehicle will be considered income, boosting most people into a higher bracket for the year.
How many Portuguese families have that kind of money? Only a tiny percentage of “winners” will be able to muster the finance necessary to claim their prize. Most of those who would be able to are likely to be already making payments on a car they bought earlier. The scheme makes no sense at all.
