Tax authority clarifies VAT filing simplification measures

  • Portugal’s Tax and Customs Authority issued Circular No. 25069 on May 19, providing guidance on VAT return simplification measures from Decree-Law No. 49/2025, effective July 1, 2025.
  • Key clarifications include that taxpayers no longer have to maintain a minimum three-year commitment to monthly VAT returns, and the agency will not initiate changes to filing frequency except in specific legal circumstances.
  • Taxpayers with a turnover of €650,000 or more in 2025 must continue monthly filings throughout 2026 and must submit a declaration by January 2026 to transition from quarterly to monthly filing if they exceed this threshold.
