Tax Alert Portugal
Ministerial Order no. 339/2019, of October 1st, was officially published, which approves the official form of the Stamp Tax Monthly Declaration and respective filing instructions.
Law no. 114/2017, 29 December (Budget Law for the year of 2018), added article 52-A to the Stamp Tax Code, with effects on 1 January 2018, which stated an obligation to submit a Stamp Tax Monthly Declaration (“DMIS”).
This Ministerial Order regulates now the referred obligation, to enter into force on 1 January 2020.
Given the above, and as from said date, Stamp Tax taxpayers, even when performed exempt transactions, shall submit, electronically, said declaration by the 20th day of the following month in which Stamp Tax became due. When Stamp Tax has to be paid, a payment note is simultaneously issued. Therefore, as from 2020, the payment of the Stamp Tax to the State will no longer be made together with PIT and CIT withholding taxes.
