Get set up to invoice legally in Portugal — the recibos verdes, done for you.
Prices exclude 23% VAT, shown at checkout.
We register you as self-employed in Portugal by opening your início de atividade (recibos verdes) on the Portal das Finanças under the simplified regime. Once done, you can issue legal invoices (green receipts) for your work. We guide you on the €15,000 IVA exemption threshold (Article 53) and on the social-security exemption that generally applies in your first year of activity.
Prices exclude 23% VAT, added at checkout where applicable.
Pay the fixed price and send us your NIF, ID and a short description of your activity through a secure link.
We confirm the correct CAE and tax regime, explain the €15,000 Article 53 IVA threshold, and open your início de atividade on Finanças.
We confirm your active status and explain how to issue your green receipts, plus what the first-year social-security exemption means for you.
Timeline: Usually 2–5 business days from the moment we have your NIF, ID and activity details; the registration itself is typically activated same-day once your information is complete.

Yes. The início de atividade is opened against your Portuguese NIF, so you need it first. If you do not have one yet, we can obtain it for you as a separate service.
Under Article 53, freelancers whose annual turnover stays below €15,000 can generally be exempt from charging IVA. We help you register on the correct footing; if you expect to exceed it, we explain what changes.
A social-security exemption generally applies during the first year of activity as a new self-employed person. We explain how it works and when contributions begin so there are no surprises.
This service gets you registered and ready to invoice. Ongoing accounting and tax filing are handled under a separate monthly retainer — ask us and we will quote it for your situation.
