The Tax and Customs Authority (AT) ensures that accompanies “all situations”, reported by taxpayers or detected by the services, when a company has not provided the tax invoices issued with Tax Identification Number (TIN), but does not clarify if more companies were identified with failure to fulfill this tax obligation, beyond the case of the mainland.

                     

                          In the Portal Complaint accumulate hypermarket chain customer complaints accusing the company of the Sonae group (PUBLIC Owner) not to disclose the invoices to the tax authorities. In the messages left on site , read that since January none was introduced in the Finance Portal, although customers ask invoices with VAT number.

In email PUBLIC sent to a mainland customer denounced: “I presented yesterday [April 6] a complaint in the Complaint Portal, since that since January request invoice with taxpayer on the day shopping in the Model / Continent and, so far, none of them was introduced in the Finance Portal. Already headed to the information desk, but nothing has changed. “

In response to questions sent by PUBLIC, the Ministry of Finance shall ensure that, where the deficiencies are not corrected in the voluntary compliance phase “AT uses his powers of authority, namely the inspective and administrative offenses”. The lack of communication of the invoices you might consider a company a fine of 200 to ten thousand euros.

In the case of the mainland, which recognized a “technical error” and promised to fix it, the Ministry of Finance does not clarify whether fines will be applied. But remember:. “I have been brought against infraction proceedings and also developed some inspection activities [ in comparison with others] ”

When contacted by the PUBLIC, Mainland source confirmed that, “after a technical analysis”, it is concluded that the “billing communication process with the Tax Authority (AT) has a technical error.” “This error impossible in a few situations, the better integration of documents issued in TA. The company regrets the situation occurred, which has correct until the end of the month of April and ensures that no customer will be injured, “he says.

The invoices must be communicated electronically to the tax authorities. Companies must declare these documents by the 25th day of the month following the issue. Customers can check if the bill was reported. If not in Finance Portal, the taxpayer can enter the invoice number, but you must save the evidence, which serves as proof of expense.

There are cases of taxpayers facing the Portal of Finance with invoices that have been reported but are “outstanding information”, indicate the missing “realization activity of the acquisition.” These situations, clarifies the Ministry of Finance, happens when a company is registered and carries more than one activity. “Taxpayers do not lose the right to deduct and has until February 15 of the year following the issue of the invoice to indicate the business sector to respect the bill and thus take advantage of the deduction in IRS and tax benefits.”

In addition to the education or health bills and tax benefit that lets down the IRS 15% of the VAT paid in hairdressing services, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops, there is a tax benefit that covers all invoices issued with Tax Identification Number (TIN).

With the reform of the IRS since January that all these bills have to deductions family overheads at the IRS, which allow deduct 35% of the spending in any purchase or service, up to a limit of 250 euros per year (to take the maximum deduction enough annual spending NIF 715 euros).

If a taxpayer entitled to draw “Lucky Invoice” to confront a situation identical and the problem is not resolved the regular draw of the time that this bill is concerned, is liable to be impaired in tender participation.

The president of the College of Chartered Accountants (OTOC) Antonio Domingues de Azevedo, says they have come to order reports of “some deficiencies” in sending invoices related health expenditures by pharmacies, but not with the lack of communication by large retail chains. The failure, he explains, have to do with a mismatch between the Portuguese Classification of Economic Activities of the companies – the call CAE – and the business sector to an invoice issued by the company with respect, which prevents the “entrance” of invoices in the system.
