Here's the thing about accounting rules in Portugal: nobody tells you when you've gotten one wrong. Not until the bill shows up. Maybe it's a VAT rate you assumed applied to you. Maybe it's three tax installments landing in the same month you didn't see coming. 

This session walks through what actually catches early-stage founders out, and how to avoid it.

Choosing your company structure (Unipessoal Lda, Lda or SA)

VAT (IVA): the rates, and a filing change that's new this year

Corporate tax (IRC), including the municipal surtax tied to your address

Employees vs. contractors: what each really costs, and when you owe withholding tax

The non-negotiables: accountant, invoicing software, annual filing
