- The Portuguese Tax Authority clarified the concept of permanent establishment for VAT purposes.
- A permanent establishment requires permanence in Portugal, adequate human and technical resources, and operational autonomy.
- The establishment must be able to receive, use, and autonomously perform contracted services.
- Merely having a postal address or facilities without resources or decision-making capacity does not qualify as a permanent establishment.
