- Portugal’s tax authority has extended the deadline for obtaining the Proof of Exit Certificate (CCE) needed to support VAT exemptions on exports.
- The extension is due to technical delays in confirming goods have left the EU customs territory.
- For invoices issued between November 1, 2025 and July 31, 2026, the certificate may be delivered by October 31, 2026.
- The move is intended to protect suppliers from unfair VAT charges, penalties, and interest caused by processing delays outside their control.
