The Portuguese tax administration has established that the declaration of SAF-T accounting files will be mandatory beginning in January 2022.
The Direcção Geral de Contribuições e Impostos (DGCI) announced the SAFT-PT accounting file initiative in 2016 when it introduced its e-VAT declaration project. Until now it had not established an implementation date.
The incorporation of this electronic tax document follows the 2014 mandatory implementation of the SAFT-PT invoice and transport documents.
The Portaria 48/2020 directive defines the use cases and characteristics of the SAFT-PT accounting file, as well as methods for its transmission.
