Extension of Reverse-Charge Mechanism for Construction Services to All Taxable Persons in Portugal

• The proposal extends the reverse-charge mechanism for construction services to all taxable persons in Portugal, including those exempt from VAT.
• Currently, the reverse-charge applies only to recipients entitled to deduct VAT.
• The new rule would require only that the recipient is a taxable person established in Portugal.
• All acquisitions of construction services under works contracts or sub-contracts would be covered.
• Exempt or non-deducting taxable persons would now be responsible for self-assessing VAT.
