Portugal mandates B2G e-invoicing beginning in
January 2019
P
ortugal is unravelling its plans to introduce mandatory
e-invoicing from the beginning of next year. The Portuguese
government has developed A Entidade de Serviços Partilhados
da Administração Públic (eSPap); a platform to service electronic
invoicing in public procurement.
In preparation to fulfil the requirements imposed by the Directive
2014/55/EU, Portugal will take one step further by making it
mandatory for suppliers to public administrations (PA’s) to send
invoices exclusively electronically starting from January 1, 2019.
Who is affected by the requirements
PA’s have, since January 1, 2018, been required to be able to receive
and process e-invoices in a structured format compatible with the
European Norm (EN).
• The Central PAs via the governmental platform, eSPap
• Other PAs either via eSPap or private service provider of their choice
Suppliers will no longer be allowed to send invoices in paper or PDF.
Only e-invoices in UBL 2.1, for eSPap, or other EN compatible format
upon agreement with the PA or its service provider will be allowed.
With a single connection to Pagero’s network, you will be able
to reach both eSPap and all major service providers operating in
Portugal in a secure and compliant matter.
