- Mandatory VAT Registration: Amazon sellers using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) in Portugal must register for VAT as soon as they start trading. Non-EU sellers need to register from their first sale, while EU sellers must register if their sales to Portuguese consumers exceed the €10,000 threshold.
- VAT Rates and Compliance: Portugal’s standard VAT rate is 23%, with reduced rates of 13% and 6% for specific goods and services. Sellers are required to maintain compliance to avoid penalties, which can reach up to €3,750 for infringements.
- Registration Process and Filing: To register, sellers need business incorporation documents and proof of trading activity, with registration managed by the Portuguese Tax Authority. VAT returns are typically filed quarterly, and all sellers should ensure timely compliance to prevent risks such as backdated liabilities and potential Amazon account suspension.
