Non-resident billing software certification from 1 July 2021
To combat tax evasion and fraud, the Portuguese Tax Authorities have defined some rules that billing systems must fulfil to ensure the non-violation of billing data once it is registered.
This means that only billing systems that fulfil the requirements defined in law and which are certified by the PTA can be used.
This will be effective from 1st July 2021. These new measures will also apply to non-resident businesses that are registered for VAT in Portugal with a turnover exceeding 50,000 Euros in the calendar year 2020. This means that these entities are required to use exclusively billing systems certified by the PTA for issuing invoices and other relevant tax documents.
There are a few options to business how to go about this- including choosing to have their own software certified, using third-party pre-certified software or outsourcing the process.
