The landlords will be able to continue to deliver the receipts of income on paper by 1 November, since the government postponed the obligation to issue electronic receipts, which entered into force in May.

                     

                         Of information provided to Lusa, the source of the Ministry of Finance informs that, “notwithstanding the application is already operating, the Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs, Paulo Nuncio, signed today [Thursday] an order extending until 1 November An electronic receipt issued obligation of income through the Portal of Finance, to allow time to adapt to the new features. “

This means that landlords who want to continue to issue paper receipts may do so without being subject to the payment of fines by 1 November, but who wants to go to issue these receipts over the Internet has also afford to do so.

The new rules on electronic receipts were created with the reform of the IRS, in force since January 2015, but only knew how they would be applied in a decree published in late April.

Speaking to the Lusa agency, the president of Lisbonense Owners Association, Menezes Leitão, said he was “very pleased” with the fact that the association’s concerns “have been met,” giving “one more time for people to be able to adapt.”

The association launched a specialized service to address the high number of questions related to the issuance of the electronic receipt.

The president of the National Association of Owners, Frias Antonio Marques, told PUBLIC considering the positive postponement, but clarified that maintains the intention of proceed with a request for unconstitutionality, which should be done by the Ombudsman.

The association considers that the electronic receipt discriminates against citizens, in particular because it imposes more stringent requirements for monthly incomes over 70 euros and discriminates citizens based on age.

The ordinance exempt from compulsory electronic issue only citizens over 65 years or rural leases, but there are owners under the age 65 years may be less familiar with electronic means.
