As of January 1, 2022, all companies or individual entrepreneurs working with Public Entities (City Councils, Parish Councils, Public Schools, etc.), will have to have a program that can do electronic invoicing.
What is e-Invoicing for Public Administration?
Electronic Invoicing is an invoice that is issued, transmitted and received in a structured electronic format that allows its automatic and electronic processing. Therefore, a pdf invoice is not considered an e-invoice.
A European standard has been created for the semantic data model of the essential elements of an e-invoice. To support the legal requirements, the semantic data model proposed for Portugal is CIUS-PT.
All public contracting authorities must be able to receive and process e-invoices from domestic and foreign senders.
