The communication to the Tax Authority consists of the transmission of data from the goods transport document to the Tax Authority.
The following can be considered as transport documents: invoice, delivery note, return note, (shipper’s) waybill or documents equivalent to the waybill. This transport document is not the carrier’s waybill, i.e. it is not the alfaloc waybill.
The transport document must be issued in triplicate before the transport starts and must accompany the cargo.
The data to be communicated are contained in the transport document and include the name and registered office of the consignor, the name and registered office of the consignee, the place of collection and the place of delivery, the date and time of the start of the service, goods and quantities, among others.
The issuance of the transport document is done by the shipper (entity requesting the shipment). The transport document can be issued in the following ways:
Once the communication of the transport document to the AT has been completed, a code is issued, which must be placed on the myalfaloc waybill in “Have you made the communication to the AT? Yes. AT code: [espaço]”, unless one of the exceptions applies (see below).

As a general rule, the communication of the transport document to the AT must be made before the start of the transport. The obligation to communicate to the AT is the shipper/sender of the goods, and owner of the goods, in all cases.
The communication to the AT applies in the case of national services (beginning and ending in national territory), with a recipient or purchaser who is a VAT taxpayer (VAT numbers starting with 5, 6 or 9) and if none of the exceptions of the regime apply to the company that makes the shipment.
Goods related to intra-community trade and import/export are excluded from the application of the Goods in Circulation Regime by virtue of article 3, paragraph 2, paragraphs b) and c) of DL 147/2003.
The exceptions to the obligation to communicate to the AT are the following:
In the cases mentioned above, there is an exemption from communication to the AT. However, the communication waiver never exempts the obligation to issue the transport document, that is, any shipment at national level must always have a transport document accompanying the cargo.
* As long as the invoice is issued electronically, through a certified computer program or generated internally, that is, if the invoice is issued manually, the obligation to communicate the Transport Document remains.
