Portugal

Portugal has a software-based fiscalization system, which means that it is mainly focused on the characteristics of the POS application and demands regarding functions of the POS programme, such as security mechanisms, inalterability standards for the created fiscal data, and so on. Before its usage, the POS SW must pass through the compulsory certification procedure

Type of fiscalization: Software

Portugal applies an online software-based fiscalization system, where fiscalization is mandatory for the sale of goods and services and transaction data is transmitted electronically to the Tax Authority. There are no specific hardware or fiscal device requirements, but POS applications must be certified by the tax authority (AT/DGCI), a local partner is mandatory, and internet access is required. Transaction data can be sent via web services or manual uploads, and POS registration itself is not required, making the system flexible but strictly software-driven.
