Frequently Asked Questions

When are Portuguese VAT returns due?
The periodic VAT return (declaração periódica) is filed by the 20th of the second month after the period and the VAT is paid by the 25th of that month. Businesses with turnover of €650,000 or more file monthly; smaller businesses file quarterly. The June return (monthly) and the second-quarter return (quarterly) are due 20 September, with payment by 25 September.
What are the "férias fiscais" in Portugal?
Under LGT art. 57.º-A, tax filing and payment deadlines that would end in August can be met up to 31 August — for example the July DMR, withholding tax and SAF-T invoice communication. Social security has a similar rule: contributions can be paid by 31 August and the monthly declaration is extended to 25 August.
What happens if a Portuguese tax deadline falls on a weekend or holiday?
It moves to the next working day (CPPT art. 20.º and Código Civil art. 279.º). This calendar already shows the moved date and notes the original one. Municipal holidays are not taken into account.
When is the IRS (personal income tax) return due?
The Modelo 3 return for the previous year is filed between 1 April and 30 June. Any tax due is normally paid by 31 August, using the reference on the nota de cobrança AT sends after assessment.
When must companies file the IRC Modelo 22?
By law, by the end of May for companies whose tax year is the calendar year, with the final IRC payment due on the same date. The deadline is often extended by despacho: for 2025 returns it was moved to 30 June 2026.
How often is VAT filed in Portugal?
This calendar shows a monthly VAT filing — 16 of them across the 2026–2027 calendar. The law sets the 20th of the month; when that is a weekend or public holiday the calendar shows the next working day.

Confirm your own frequency with Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (AT).

Is this calendar official Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (AT) guidance?
No. It is a plain-English summary built to help you plan, and it is not tax advice. Dates can change, and your own obligations depend on your registration, turnover and scheme. Always confirm against Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (AT) before you rely on a date, and speak to a qualified adviser about your own situation.
Do EU-wide VAT rules change these Portugal dates?
The EU VAT Directive sets a common framework, but each member state keeps its own filing calendar, thresholds and rates — which is why Portugal has its own page here rather than a shared EU one. If you sell across borders, the One-Stop Shop lets you declare VAT centrally instead of registering in each country.

Before you file or pay

How to verify a Portugal tax deadline

1. Match the obligation. Check the tax type, period, registration and filing method. A VAT, payroll or income-tax date may not apply to every taxpayer.
2. Check the live notice. Public holidays, agent arrangements, extensions and account-specific instructions can change the operational due date.
3. Keep proof. Save the submission receipt and payment confirmation. Filing and paying can be separate actions with separate cut-off times.

Why this matters: missed dates can lead to late filing charges, interest, loss of a relief or an avoidable compliance review. This page is a planning aid, not a legal determination. It was last content-reviewed on 2026-10-09; verify the live rule with Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira (AT) before acting.
