Question referred for a preliminary ruling

May capital gains arising from a property transaction consisting in the sale of an immovable property purchased by a Portuguese national not resident in the European Union be subjected to a discriminatory system of taxation which is more onerous by comparison with that which is applied to residents, who benefit from a 50 % reduction of the capital gains forming the basis of the calculation of income tax, in accordance with the provisions of Article 65(1)(a) TFEU?
