- Portugal has no general B2B e-invoicing clearance mandate, but it does have a strict post-issuance tax control system.
- Invoices generally must be created with AT-certified software and include a software certification number, ATCUD, and QR code.
- Businesses must file monthly SAF-T (PT) Billing by the 5th of the following month; this also applies to non-resident VAT-registered businesses.
- B2G suppliers must issue CIUS-PT structured e-invoices, with this requirement extended to SMEs and micro-enterprises from 1 January 2026.
- PDF invoices stay valid without a QES until 31 December 2026, but from 1 January 2027 B2B and B2C PDFs will require a qualified electronic signature unless another accepted format is used.
