Yes it does. and 25% discount in the second year.Thanks for the table @disconnected. Do you know if the 50% discount on year 1 applies on top of the NHR max rate? For ex: 100,000 income on year 1, with an eligible profession, would it be 20% of 75% = 15000 of income tax, or 7500? Since there are no SS on year 1, it's a pretty good short term option
