What is the process for automatically sending documents to the Tax Authority?
With automatic communication to the Tax Authority, your invoices and related documents are submitted automatically three days after issuance, minimizing the risk of delays or potential fines.
What automatic communication to the Tax Authority is
When this option is enabled, all documents issued on the Rauva platform are automatically reported to the Portuguese Tax Authority 3 days after issuance.
