What the pack carries

Charts of accountsWhat a company installs, and who each chart is published for.
  • default (default) — 119 accounts, for companies
TaxesHow many the pack carries, at which distinct rates, and which treatments it can express.
25 taxes at rates of 0, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 16, 22, 23
domestic, domestic_reverse_charge, exempt, export, foreign_services_received, import, intracom_acquisition_goods, intracom_goods, intracom_services
Periodic declarationThe form the ledger is read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.
  • PT-DP-IVA — 25 boxes, filed month or quarter
When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.
  • not declared in the pack
The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.
  • filed by hand on the administration’s portal
Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
no profile — no obligation in law

A 22 de setembro de 2026 não existe, em Portugal, uma obrigação legal de troca de faturas eletrónicas estruturadas entre empresas: o mecanismo nacional passa pelo programa de faturação certificado (Decreto-Lei n.º 28/2019), pelo ATCUD e pelo código QR em toda fatura (Portaria n.º 195/2020) e pela submissão mensal do ficheiro SAF-T (PT) — três obrigações de certificação e de comunicação ao Estado, não um formato de fatura estruturada trocado entre as partes; ver o README do pacote. A faturação eletrónica é obrigatória apenas na contratação pública (Decreto-Lei n.º 111-B/2017, que transpõe a Diretiva 2014/55/UE): desde abril de 2019 para as entidades adjudicantes, desde janeiro de 2021 para as grandes empresas, e até 31 de dezembro de 2026 para as micro, pequenas e médias empresas e para as restantes entidades adjudicantes (Lei n.º 73-A/2025, Orçamento do Estado para 2026), gerida pela ESPAP. O esquema 9946 (NIF português) identifica a empresa e o número de IVA, que em Portugal são o mesmo número

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.

PT-DP-IVAdeclaration

Free, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2436. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.

OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.

camt.053bank statement

Free, for everA camt.053 file the bank hands over is read and matched against the ledger.

OperatedFetching the statement without being handed it: a PSD2 aggregator contract.
