- Since January 1, 2026, Portuguese VAT declaration frequency rules have changed: companies must now determine their own VAT regime (monthly or quarterly).
- The tax administration no longer automatically updates or notifies companies of their VAT regime.
- Companies must formalize any changes via a modification declaration submitted in January 2026.
- Inaction can lead to compliance risks; doing nothing is no longer considered compliant.
- The 2026 VAT regime depends on 2025 turnover: ≥ €650,000 requires monthly declarations; < €650,000 allows quarterly (or optional monthly) declarations.
