Peppol, explained

Cape Verde

CV

Cape Verde runs a real-time clearance model in which the tax administration (DNRE) authorises every signed XML invoice and tax-relevant document on its e-Fatura platform before it is issued, with mandatory adhesion phased in from 2021 to 2022.

Invoicing and electronic documents

e-Fatura (Plataforma Eletrónica)

The DNRE platform that receives each invoice or tax-relevant document, checks the issuer's registration, accreditation, digital signature and file structure, and authorises its use in real time before it is made available to the recipient. It is a national clearance system with no Peppol connection described in the sources reviewed.

XML defined by DNRE's published XSD packages (latest listed 2024-05-27), signed with the issuer's digital signature; printed copies carry a unique document identifier (IUD) and a QR code · Official source

Public issuing software (Emissor Público)

Free software the tax administration makes available on its website, as an alternative to a taxpayer's own e-invoicing system, for issuing the same authorised documents.

SAF-T (CV)

The standard audit file for tax. Portaria n.º 47/2021 fixes the data structure of the export file referred to in Article 107(6) of the corporate income tax code (Código do IRPC). It is separate from invoice clearance.

SAF-T (CV) XML, XSD v1.01_01 · Official source

Cape Verde has no Peppol Authority, and no Peppol link to e-Fatura is described in the sources reviewed. A domestic invoice is valid only after the tax administration has authorised it on e-Fatura. Sending a PDF or an e-mail is not enough. An implementation therefore needs DNRE accreditation, a digital certificate, and XML that validates against the current XSD package.

The phase dates above come from the original text of Portaria n.º 74/2020. Later amendments to that schedule were not found in the sources reviewed. Check with DNRE whether your taxpayer group and document types are covered, and look for any later orders on accreditation, recipient response and contingency issuing.

Timeline

  1. E-invoicing regime in force

    Decree-Law n.º 79/2020 of 12 November, establishing the electronic invoice and electronic tax-relevant documents, took effect the day after publication. It replaced the 2006 e-invoicing framework, which had never been fully applied.

  2. Voluntary adhesion opens

    Every taxpayer could join e-Fatura from this date, after the pilot phase that started when Portaria n.º 74/2020 took effect.

  6. Remaining groups mandatory

    Micro and small enterprises under REMPE, category B earners with organised accounts and category C earners were required to adhere, completing the schedule in the order.
