As mentioned before, SIMPLEX+ Program created a new obligation of communication that VAT taxpayers have to comply, electronically, in order to inform the Portuguese tax authorities (“PTA”) about their establishments where invoices are issued, according to Decree-Law no. 28/2019, of 15 February.
As per this Decree-Law, this obligation had or has to be fulfilled:
- By 31 October 2019, by VAT taxpayers who already performed an activity or began to perform it until 30/09/2019 (Order no. 254/2019-XXI, of 27 June, issued by the State Secretary for Tax Affairs;
- Within the 30 days subsequent of the beginning of activity or the occurrence of any amendment to the elements previously reported.
However, the procedure to comply with such obligation did not have been defined up to date, as the PTA finally clarified that such obligation can be met by 30 June 2020, according to Order no. 4/2019-XXII, of 30 October 2019, of the Secretary of State for Tax Affairs. We wait for further clarifications informing about the procedure that will have to be followed to comply with this obligation.
