Organise the Expenses Behind Your Green Receipts

You issue recibos verdes through the AT portal. Faturiza handles the other side — capturing, extracting, and archiving every supplier invoice and expense you receive, so your books stay clean and your accountant stays happy.

The receipt you issue is handled. What about every invoice you receive?

Every month you issue recibos verdes through the AT portal — that part is straightforward. But running as a trabalhador independente also means you receive invoices from your own suppliers: software subscriptions, co-working space, professional training, accounting fees, equipment. These documents are the foundation of your Categoria B expense records, your IVA declarations, and the 10-year archive AT can audit at any time. Most freelancers collect them in a mix of email folders and a drawer they try not to think about. Faturiza is the tool that closes this gap: your expenses arrive by email or Google Drive, AI reads and categorises them, and everything lands in your own Google Sheet and Drive folder. Important: Faturiza does not issue recibos verdes or interact with the AT portal. If you need to issue receipts, use the Portal das Financas (irs.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt) or an AT-certified invoicing tool.

How Faturiza helps freelancers who issue recibos verdes

  • Every expense, wherever it arrives

    Forward supplier PDFs to your Faturiza inbox, connect your Google Drive, or upload directly. No matter how a document reaches you — email attachment, download, scanned paper — it gets captured in one place.

  • AI reads every invoice so you don't have to

    Supplier name, date, amount, IVA rate, currency — extracted automatically and categorised. No manual data entry, even for foreign invoices in EUR, USD, or GBP.

  • Your data stays in your Google account

    Faturiza writes to your own Google Drive and Google Sheet. There is no proprietary database holding your records hostage. Cancel any time — your documents and data go with you.

  • Accountant-ready Google Sheet, always current

    Your Categoria B expenses land in a structured spreadsheet your accountant can open directly — or export to their preferred format. No need to build a spreadsheet from scratch every tax season.

  • 10-year digital archive, as the law requires

    Portuguese law requires invoice retention for 10 years (CIVA Art. 52). Faturiza stores documents in your Google Drive in a structured folder hierarchy, searchable by supplier, date, or amount. Never scramble for a missing receipt during an AT audit.

  • Data export for your accountant

    If your activity requires organised accounting or you want to export a structured file for your accountant, Faturiza exports structured data from your received invoices for your accounting software.

Frequently asked questions about Faturiza and recibos verdes

No. Recibos verdes are issued through the AT Portal das Financas (irs.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt) or via AT-certified invoicing software — that process has nothing to do with Faturiza. What Faturiza does is organise the invoices and expense receipts you receive from your own suppliers — software, co-working, equipment, professional services — so your Categoria B records stay complete and audit-ready.

Yes. Under the Regime Simplificado, AT automatically applies a deemed-cost coefficient to your revenue, so you do not declare individual expenses in your Modelo 3. However, you are still legally required to retain all supporting documents — invoices, receipts, bank statements — for 10 years (CIVA Art. 52), because AT can audit you and request evidence of any transaction.

It depends on how you issue your invoices, not on your regime. If you issue recibos verdes on the Portal das Finanças, AT already has them and there is nothing to communicate. If you invoice through certified billing software, those invoices must be communicated to AT by the 5th of the following month (usually via the software's SAF-T file or webservice). Faturiza exports structured data from the invoices you receive for your accounting software.

Absolutely. Being IVA-exempt means you do not charge IVA on your services and cannot deduct input IVA on your purchases — but you still receive invoices that include IVA from your suppliers, and you must keep those documents for the mandatory 10-year retention period. Beyond compliance, having a complete expense record is useful if your revenue grows past the exemption threshold and you move into a normal IVA regime.

In your own Google Drive and Google Sheets — not in a Faturiza proprietary database. Faturiza writes directly to your Google account. If you stop using Faturiza tomorrow, every document and every spreadsheet row is still yours, in your Drive, accessible from any Google account. There is no lock-in: your 10-year archive is never held hostage by a subscription.
