\n<\/strong>Under standard regulations, December invoice data must be submitted to the\u00a0Portuguese Tax Authority\u00a0by the 5th of the following month. However, because 5th January 2026 is only the second working day after the New Year holidays, the government provided additional time to ensure data quality and reduce compliance pressure during the holiday period.<\/p>\n
