Since 2022, e-invoicing has been mandatory for business-to-government (B2G) transactions, initially for large companies and later extended to medium, small, and micro-enterprises under Decree 28\/2019. The mandate is aligned with EU Directive 2014\/55\/EU and Decree 123\/2018, requiring public authorities to process electronic invoices. eSPAP coordinates Portugal\u2019s B2G e-invoicing platform. Currently, B2B e-invoicing is not mandatory in Portugal, though trends across Europe indicate a likely future expansion.

From that point on, in accordance with EU Directive 2014\/55\/EU, B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory in Portugal. Consequently, Portuguese public authorities must be able to receive and process electronic invoices.<\/p><p>In 2021, the obligation expanded to large companies, which were required to issue electronic invoices exclusively when invoicing public entities.<\/p><p>In 2022, the Portuguese tax authorities introduced a further milestone, requiring a mandatory QR code on all paper &amp; pdf invoices generated by a certified software.<\/p><p>The timeline progressed further in 2023 in which 3 reforms for non-resident taxpayers were introduced. This includes that foreign businesses VAT registered in Portugal from that point on had to comply with requirements that were already in place for residents:<\/p><ul><li>Paper or PDF invoices must include a QR Code<\/li><li>Invoices must be produced by certified invoicing software that can allocate a unique ATCUD code<\/li><li>Monthly invoice reporting via SAF-T Billing file<\/li><\/ul><p>Looking ahead, in 2025, the B2G e-invoicing deadline for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been postponed to 1 January 2026, providing additional preparation time for affected businesses.<br \/>Additionally, there is a new 1-year delay to QES. This means that, until 31 December 2026, Portuguese businesses may continue to issue PDF invoices as electronic invoices. From 1 January 2027 onward, electronic invoices will be required to include a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) issued exclusively by certified third-party providers. At the same time, annual SAF-T Accounting has also been delayed a year until 2027 (for 2026 transactions).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01936cc e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"01936cc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5ec7df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c5ec7df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who must comply with the e-invoicing requirements? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9522752 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9522752\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19137a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19137a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To complement the Portugal e-invoicing timeline, the section below clarifies who is subject to the e-invoicing requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-647e2f2 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"647e2f2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62186ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62186ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">B2G<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9b0521 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b9b0521\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36dc1ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36dc1ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>E-invoicing is mandatory in Portugal for business-to-government (B2G) transactions and was introduced in phases.
