Portugal Tax Topics In Accounts Without SuiteTax

In Portugal, all invoicing software must be certified by the Portuguese tax authority DGCI, as mandated by Decree nº 363/2010 of the 23rd June Series I nº 120, and by Circular Letter Nº: 50 000/2012. NetSuite has been duly certified by DGCI as meeting the compliance requirements for issuing and printing invoices.

In addition, all companies in Portugal are required to submit on a monthly basis a Standard Audit File for Tax Purposes (PT SAF-T), which reports sales invoice data. NetSuite provides users the ability to generate the PT SAF-T in the required XML format for submission to the tax agency.

All Portugal invoices and cash sale transactions in NetSuite comply with the following requirements:

• Portugal Transaction ID on PDF printouts

• Portugal QR code on PDF printouts

• NetSuite or NetSuite OneWorld certification number on the footer of the PDF printout

• “Original” stamp on the first PDF printout

• “Cópia do documento original” stamp on subsequent PDF printouts of the invoice or cash sale

The NetSuite certification numbers assigned by DGCI are as follows:

• For NetSuite: 1690

• For NetSuite OneWorld: 1691
