Odoo electronic invoicing in Portugal¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Portugal’s regulatory standards.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Portugal¶
In Portugal, e-invoicing is regulated under the Portuguese VAT Code and in compliance with EU Directive 2014/55/EU for B2G transactions. E-invoicing has been mandatory for public sector suppliers since 2021. Businesses must use structured e-invoices in the CIUS-PT format, which aligns with European standards. While B2B e-invoicing is not yet mandatory, its adoption is encouraged to improve tax compliance and efficiency. Additionally, e-invoices must be validated and certified under Portugal’s SAF-T (PT) system, which integrates with the tax authority for reporting.
