Portugal: Extension of PDF Invoices as e-Invoices Until 31 Dec 2025

In the final days of October 2023, the Portuguese Parliament approved the State Budget for 2025, which includes an important update on invoicing requirements. According to the new legislation, PDF invoices will continue to be accepted and treated as electronic invoices for all purposes under tax legislation until 31 December 2025.

From January 2026, companies will be required to use a qualified electronic signature for their PDF or XML invoices in order for them to be legally recognized.

This change aims to further streamline the invoicing process, enhance digitalization, and improve the security and authenticity of invoices in line with EU standards for electronic invoicing.
