- Since January 1, 2026, companies in Portugal must determine and formalize their own VAT return periodicity; the tax authority no longer updates it automatically.
- The €650,000 turnover threshold in 2025 determines the regime: above this, monthly VAT returns are mandatory; below, quarterly is possible (with an option for monthly).
- The previous three-year commitment to the monthly regime has been removed, allowing annual changes based on turnover.
- Companies must actively monitor and declare any changes in VAT regime each January to remain compliant.
- Failure to act or declare changes can result in reporting risks; annual VAT audits are recommended.
