Portugal Proposes One-Year Delay for New E-Invoicing and Digital Tax Rules Amid ViDA Preparations

  • Portugal is updating its e-invoicing and e-reporting systems to align with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative, targeting full implementation by 2030.
  • The government is considering postponing new digital tax obligations by one year, as outlined in Draft Law No. 37/XVII/1 for the 2026 State Budget.
  • Current requirements include certified invoicing software, mandatory e-invoicing for B2G transactions, and periodic SAF-T file submissions.
  • If the draft law passes, PDFs will be accepted as e-invoices until December 31, 2026, with QES required from January 1, 2027, and SAF-T (PT) accounting file submission starting in 2028.
  • Final decisions depend on the parliamentary budget process, with updates expected after the November 27, 2025 vote.
