Good to know
Is organised accounting mandatory for a Unipessoal, Lda.?
Yes. Unlike a sole trader under the simplified regime, a limited company must keep organised accounting under the SNC, regardless of turnover.
What is the IES and when is it due?
The IES (Informação Empresarial Simplificada) is the annual filing that combines your accounts, tax declarations and statistical reporting into a single submission to the AT. We prepare and file it within the legal deadline each year.
What counts as a dormant company?
A dormant company is a registered business that isn't trading — no activity and no income, though it may carry a few setup or maintenance expenses. It still has annual obligations, which we keep filed so the company stays in good standing.
Can I pay myself as sole shareholder and manager?
Yes, typically through a management fee (remuneração de gerência) or dividend distribution, or a combination of both. We advise on the structure that fits your situation and handle the related Social Security and tax obligations.
