Deduction to tax
These invoices will already be automatically registered at the tax department therefore it is unnecessary to forward them to us unless:
If any of the expenses referred below were not issued by a Portuguese company (such as many Health & Medical insurances), to obtain an automatic deduction the invoice with overseas VAT number must be registered at the tax office before the 25th of February.
Pharmacy bills which require a doctor’s prescription (invoices with IVA at 23%) must be manually validated at the tax
department online before the 25th February; therefore, we will need a copy of both the bills and the prescriptions.
For any of the above situations please send us the documents no later than the 10th of February specifically for the validation of the invoices.
For your information, the categories that can be offset are:
- General Expenses
- Medical Expenses
- Health & Medical Insurance
- Education Expenses
- Habitation – interest on the mortgage / rents payments
- Alimony, child support under court order
- Charitable Donations
