Fiscal digitisation: Transparency, fraud prevention and fiscal integrity

Portuguese fiscalization pursues the reduction of fraud in the retail sector and the complete documentation of business processes. Specialized software is used to create reports for tax authorities and assign identifiers to fiscal documents. This promotes transparency, minimizes fraud and strengthens Portugal's fiscal integrity.

Tax compliance in Portugal

The Portuguese tax system is based on software-supported fiscalization. All point-of-sale software requires formal accreditation by the tax authorities before it can be used. This accreditation, represented by a Portuguese company, follows strict compliance checks. Timeline of Portugal:

  • January 2021: Mandatory e-invoicing for large public procurement providers
  • July 2021: Mandatory e-invoicing for small and medium-sized public procurement providers
  • January 2022: Mandatory e-invoicing for micro and public institutions and inclusion of a QR code on relevant invoices and tax documents
  • December 2023: End of the recognition of PDF invoices as electronic invoices
  • January 2023: Obligation to submit a monthly SAF-T file and inclusion of the ATCUD document code on relevant invoices and tax documents
  • January 2024: Digital signatures are required for e-invoices, and micro and SMEs must issue e-invoices for B2G transactions.
