The generated SAF-T (PT) is compatible with the version 1.04 format (Ordinance No. 302/2016), which is the latest version available from the Tax Authority. Confirm that you have selected this version in the submission settings for your SAF-T (PT) file.

If this is not the problem, the second step is to confirm which validator you are using.

Many users search on search engines for the SAF-T (PT) validator and the address for old validators still appears. These old validators do not support the new changes, have errors, and are often inappropriate or not in line with the change in the law.

Make sure you validate your SAF-T (PT) file on the e-fatura website, available at https://faturas.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/, as you can validate and test it without having to submit it.

Do not open the generated SAF-T (PT) file

Some users open the generated file in text editors or other similar programs, running the risk of changing its format. If this happens, the file is no longer valid for the TA services, and you must generate a new file to submit again.

If you continue to experience errors, please contact Customer Support so we can analyse the errors via the file you are submitting.
