Value-added tax (VAT)

When selling goods and services in Portugal, VAT ("Imposto sobre o valor acrescentado", "IVA") may apply. You can configure all Portuguese VAT rates in pretix using tax rules, including more complex tax cases (e.g. intra-EU reverse charge transactions).

Invoicing

E-invoicing

All invoices in Portugal must be created by certified invoicing software. Starting in 2026, they must also be signed using a qualified electronic signature. pretix does not support this, but it is possible to sell tickets through pretix and issue invoices outside of pretix.

More information is available on the website of the European Commission: eInvoicing in Portugal.

pretixPOS

When operating a cash register in Portugal, the cash register software must be certified by the fiscal authority. pretixPOS is currently not certified and can therefore not be used as cash register software in Portugal.
