Portuguese VAT taxable persons must issue an invoice for each supply of goods or services and for advance payments, even if the buyer does not request one. A printed invoice should be ready for the customer, the supplier archive, payment approval, and later electronic communication to Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira, known as AT.
The printed version should show the same fiscal data as the underlying record: invoice number, issue date, parties, NIF details, line items, taxable values, IVA rates, tax amounts, and exemption wording where relevant. Portugal uses the euro, so amounts, totals, payment instructions, and late-payment references should use EUR.
Portuguese VAT invoices must be dated and sequentially numbered. They must show the supplier's and taxable buyer's names, registered office or address, and Portuguese tax identification numbers. A non-taxable buyer's NIF becomes mandatory when the buyer requests it, so the safest workflow asks for the buyer's NIF before finalizing the document.
Each line should state the quantity and usual description of goods or services, net price, taxable-value components, applicable VAT rate, and VAT amount. Portugal's mainland IVA rates are 23% standard, 13% intermediate, and 6% reduced, while autonomous-region rates can differ. If VAT does not apply, the invoice needs the reason for non-application of VAT.
Invoices and other fiscally relevant documents in Portugal must include a two-dimensional QR code and a unique document code. Treat those as fiscal identifiers, not decoration. A printed invoice that omits them can look complete to the buyer while still failing the document standard expected for Portuguese invoicing.
Businesses subject to Portuguese invoicing rules must electronically communicate invoice data to AT by the 5th day of the month after issue. The communicated data includes issuer NIF, invoice number, issue date, document type, buyer NIF when included, taxable value, applicable rates, VAT or stamp-duty amount, exemption reason if applicable, and the document's unique code.
A one-off printable invoice works for a small job when you already know the client, NIF, line descriptions, IVA treatment, due date, and payment terms. Ordinary B2B payment timing falls back to 30 calendar days after invoice receipt if the contract does not set a payment period, so add a clear due date instead of relying on assumption.
A managed workflow becomes useful when billable work changes by person, project, task, or date. Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, preserves dated rate history, and can price billable work by project, member, or custom task rate before the invoice is prepared.

Portugal uses IVA, the Portuguese VAT system. A taxable invoice should show the applicable IVA rate and tax amount for each taxable supply, unless a valid exemption or non-application reason applies. Mainland rates are 23%, 13%, and 6%, and autonomous-region rates can differ.
A Portugal invoice must show the supplier's name, registered office or address, and Portuguese tax identification number. A taxable buyer's name, address, and NIF also belong on the invoice. For a non-taxable buyer, the buyer's NIF is mandatory when the buyer requests it.
Printing and AT reporting are separate steps. The invoice can be issued to the customer, but businesses subject to Portuguese invoicing rules must electronically communicate invoice data to AT by the 5th day of the month after issue through an accepted channel such as SAF-T (PT), real-time transmission, or Portal das Finanças entry.
The QR code and unique document code are easy to miss because they do not change the commercial amount due. Portugal requires invoices and other fiscally relevant documents to include both, so a printed invoice should preserve them clearly alongside the invoice number, date, NIF details, taxable values, rates, and IVA amounts.
EU late-payment rules make interest payable 30 calendar days after invoice receipt if the contract does not set a payment period. Portugal's statutory late-payment rate for January 1 to June 30, 2026 is 10.15%, and the flat recovery fee is €40. A written due date prevents confusion.
Everhour separates cost rates from billable rates, so internal expense and client-facing revenue stay distinct. Teams can set per-person defaults, override rates by project, preserve dated rate changes, and price billable work by project, member, or custom task rate.
Everhour can generate invoices from uninvoiced billable time and expenses, then group line items by the structure the client expects, such as project, task, person, or date. Non-billable work stays out of billable totals when tasks are marked that way.
Set rates once, track approved billable time, and prepare client invoices from the same records. Everhour keeps cost, revenue, and dated rate history connected to billing.
