Portugal SAF-T

Key: pt-saft-v1 Portugal doesn’t have an e-invoicing format per se. Tax information is reported electronically to the AT (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira) either periodically in batches via a SAF-T (PT) report or individually in real time via a web service. This addon ensures that the GOBL documents have all the required fields to be able to be reported to the AT.

Invoice Type

SAF-T’s InvoiceType (Tipo de documento) specifies the type of a sales invoice. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-invoice-type extension in the tax section. GOBL will set the extension for you based on the type and the tax tags you set in your invoice. The table below shows how this mapping is done:

Code	Name	GOBL Type	GOBL Tax Tag
`FT`	Standard Invoice	`standard`
`FS`	Simplified Invoice	`standard`	`simplified`
`FR`	Invoice-Receipt	`standard`	`invoice-receipt`
`ND`	Debit Note	`debit-note`
`NC`	Credit Note	`credit-note`

Example:

{
	"$schema": "https://gobl.org/draft-0/bill/invoice",
	"$tags": [
		"invoice-receipt"
	],
	// ...
	"type": "standard",
	// ...
	"tax": {
		"ext": {
			"pt-saft-invoice-type": "FR"
		}
	},
	// ...

pt-saft-invoice-type

Code	Name
`FT`	Standard Invoice
`FS`	Simplified Invoice
`FR`	Invoice-Receipt
`ND`	Debit Note
`NC`	Credit Note

Payment Type

To report payment receipts to the AT, GOBL provides conversion from bill.Payment documents. In a payment, the SAF-T’s PaymentType (Tipo de documento) field specifies its type. In GOBL, this type can be set using the pt-saft-payment-type extension. GOBL will set the extension automatically based on the type and the tax tags you set. The table below shows how this mapping is done:

Code	Name	GOBL Type	GOBL Tax Tag
RG	Outro Recibo	`receipt`
RC	Recibo no âmbito do regime de IVA de Caixa	`receipt`	`vat-cash`

For example:

{
	"$schema": "https://gobl.org/draft-0/bill/payment",
	// ...
	"type": "receipt",
	// ...
	"ext": {
		"pt-saft-receipt-type": "RG"
	},
	// ...

pt-saft-payment-type

Code	Name
`RC`	Receipt under the VAT Cash scheme
`RG`	Other Receipt

Tax Rate Code

The SAF-T’s TaxCode (Código do imposto) is required for invoice items that apply VAT. GOBL provides the pt-saft-tax-rate extension to set this code at line tax level. It also determines it automatically this code using the rate field (when present). The following table lists the supported tax codes and how GOBL will map them:

Code	Name	GOBL Tax Rate
`NOR`	Tipo Geral	`standard`
`INT`	Taxa Intermédia	`intermediate`
`RED`	Taxa Reduzida	`reduced`
`ISE`	Isenta	`exempt`

pt-saft-tax-rate

Code	Name
`RED`	Reduced
`INT`	Intermediate
`NOR`	Normal
`ISE`	Exempt
`OUT`	Other

Tax exemption reason code

The SAF-T’s TaxExemptionCode (Código do motivo de isenção de imposto) is a code that specifies the reason the VAT tax is exempt in a Portuguese invoice. When the exempt tag is used in a tax combo, the ext map’s pt-saft-exemption property is required. The SAF-T’s TaxExemptionReason (Motivo da isenção de imposto) is a text that justifies the exemption referencing the relevant legislation. In GOBL, this is provided with a special line-level note. By default, if no note is provided, GOBL will automatically assign a default one consistent with the exemption code. However, note that default texts are generic and not always sufficiently precise to comply with the regulations. The invoice issuer should be given the option to provide a custom note with the appropriate descriptive text. For example, you could define an invoice line exempt of tax with the exemption code and the reason as follows:

{
	"$schema": "https://gobl.org/draft-0/bill/invoice",
	// ...
	"lines": [
		{
			// ...
		"item": {
				"name": "Some service exempt of tax",
				"price": "25.00"
			},
			"tax": [
				{
						"cat": "VAT",
						"rate": "exempt",
						"ext": {
							"pt-saft-tax-rate": "ISE",
							"pt-saft-exemption": "M40"
						}
				}
			]
		},
		"notes": [
			{
				"key": "legal",
				"code": "M40",
				"src": "pt-saft-exemption",
				"text": "Artigo 6.º n.º 6 alínea a) do CIVA, a contrário"
			}
		]
	]
