VAT in Portugal
The standard VAT rate in Portugal is 23%. Small businesses may use the exemption regime of article 53 of the VAT Code for small businesses; check the current conditions with Portal das Finanças (Portuguese Tax Authority).
Selling services to a business in another EU country usually uses reverse charge: no VAT on the invoice, both VAT numbers shown. Sales to consumers in other EU countries above EUR 10,000 a year go through the One Stop Shop (OSS). A small-business exemption can only be used across borders while EU-wide turnover stays below EUR 100,000.
What the software must handle in Portugal
Domestic VAT at 23%, the small-business scheme where it applies, reverse charge and OSS for EU sales, and exports your accountant can work with.
Where Money Magician fits
Money Magician supports EU VAT for all 27 member states, applying each country's standard rate and B2B reverse charge, and also supports Canadian GST/PST/HST/QST.
