Business to Government (B2G) small medium enterprise (SME) e-invoicing postponement (again)
The B2G landscape in Portugal has been subject to some revision, with delays going back as far as the summer of 2022. While initially having been mandatory on 1 January 2023, the Council of Ministers confirmed in a press conference of 18 May 2023 that the deadline for mandatory B2G e-invoicing for SME companies would once more be extended.
The new law-Decree is yet to be published and confirmation of a new timeline is yet to be confirmed.
Portugal is a compliant territory for Kofax and we will monitor e-invoicing developments in the country. Please refer to further e-invoicing on our dedicated e-invoicing page for Portugal here.
