Is this invoice generator legal to use in Portugal?+
Yes. Portugal requires invoices to be issued via certified billing software authorized by Autoridade Tributária (AT). Certified software generates the ATCUD unique code and signs the invoice digitally. KipBill's PDF is useful for reference; for tax-valid invoices you need AT-certified software or KipBill's Pro features where available.
What IVA rate should I use on my invoices?+
Portugal's standard IVA rate is 23% (21% in Azores, 16% in Madeira). Reduced rate: 13% (some food, wine, restaurants). Super-reduced: 6% (basic food, medicines, books, newspapers — 4% in Azores, 5% in Madeira). Some supplies are exempt (medical, education, banking).
Do I need to register for IVA before issuing invoices in Portugal?+
IVA registration is automatic upon business registration in Portugal. There is a simplified regime (regime simplificado) for small businesses and the exemption (isenção do art. 53º CIVA) for annual turnover below €15,000 for services. Exempt sellers must indicate "IVA - regime de isenção" on invoices.
What information must every invoice include in Portugal?+
The CIVA (Portuguese VAT Code) requires: sequential number and series, issue date, ATCUD, QR code, supplier name, head office, NIF; customer NIF and name for B2B or B2C > €1,000; description, quantity, unit, unit price; taxable base per rate; IVA rate and amount; total. SAF-T (PT) monthly reporting to AT is mandatory.
Can I issue invoices in a currency other than EUR?+
Yes. Portuguese invoices can be in foreign currency, but IVA amount must also be shown in EUR at the reference exchange rate. The ATCUD and QR code must always reflect EUR amounts. KipBill supports 30+ currencies with automatic conversion display.
How long do I have to keep invoice records in Portugal?+
Portugal requires invoices, SAF-T files, and related records to be retained for at least 10 years. Electronic archiving in PDF/A with integrity guarantee is standard; certified software handles this automatically.
