REVOCATION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTION ON LOCAL ACCOMMODATION AND FIXING OF THE COEFFICIENT OF AGEING APPLICABLE TO LOCAL ACCOMMODATION ESTABLISHMENTS; LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION GRANTED TO THE GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE THE ELECTRONIC SERVICE OF DOCUMENTS ON NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS
The month of September was characterised, in legislative terms by the publication of Decree-Law no. 57/2024, of September 10, which revokes the extraordinary contribution on local accommodation and fixes of the coefficient of ageing applicable to local accommodation establishments, and the introduction of measures in the IRS to facilitate geographical mobility, as well as the publication of Law no. 38-A/2024, of September 27, which authorizes the government to regulate the service of documents by electronic means on natural and legal persons, determining that the service of documents on legal persons is, as a rule, effected by electronic means.
Also noteworthy, at a legislative level, are:
- Ordinance no. 215/2024/1, of September 23, which regulates electronic communications between judicial courts, administrative and tax courts, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, I. P. (INMLCF), in the context of examinations and expertise requested from INMLCF services in judicial proceedings;
- Ordinance no. 236-A/2024/1, of September 27, which regulates the conditions for the granting of a personal guarantee by the state to ensure that credit institutions with head offices in Portugal and branches in Portugal of credit institutions with head offices abroad carry out credit operations with a view to acquiring their first permanent home.
Within the scope of case law, the month of September is highlighted by the Judgement of the Supreme Court of Justice, of September 17, Case no. 3765/16.4T8VFR.P1.S1, which ruled as follows: "In an accident that is both a traffic accident and an accident at work, each of the compensations is based on different criteria and has its own functions and objectives, so the compensation awarded to the injured party for the loss of earning capacity, at work, does not include compensation for the biological damage, embodied in the somatic-psychic and functional impairment of the injured party, with personal affect, within the scope of civil jurisdiction.".
Finally, in Miscellaneous, the Council of Ministers approved the bill creating the Global Minimum Tax Regime (RIMG), transposing a European directive on guaranteeing a worldwide minimum level of taxation for large corporate groups.

IV. CASE-LAW
IV.1. Court of Justice of the European Union
Judgment of the Court of Justice (Seventh Chamber), September 5, Case C-83/23: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Harmonisation of fiscal legislation. Common system of value added tax (VAT). Directive 2006/112/EC. VAT unduly invoiced and paid. Correction of the invoice. Liquidation of the supplier. Refund to the supplier of the VAT. Refusal of the tax authority to refund the VAT directly to the purchaser. Priority for the right to a VAT refund. Risk of a double refund of the VAT. Risk of loss of tax revenue.
Summary:
“Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive 2010/45/EU of 13 July 2010, read in the light of the principles of effectiveness and neutrality of value added tax (VAT), must be interpreted as meaning that the recipient of a service may not request directly from the tax authority of the Member State in whose territory it is established, the refund of the VAT which it paid to the supplier of that service – which invoiced in error the national VAT of that Member State instead of the VAT legally due in another Member State and paid it to the tax authorities of the first Member State – where those tax authorities have already refunded the VAT to the supplier, which has gone into liquidation, of the service.".

Judgment of the Court of Justice (Second Chamber), September 12, Case C-243/23: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Common system of value added tax (VAT). Directive 2006/112/EC. Article 187. Adjustment of deductions. Extended adjustment period for immovable property acquired as capital goods. Concept of ‘capital goods’. Article 190. Option for Member States to treat as capital goods services with characteristics similar to those normally associated with those goods. Building extension and renovation works. Possibility under national law of treating such works as the construction or acquisition of immovable property. Restrictions. Direct effect of Article 190. Margin of discretion.
Summary:
“1. Article 190 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, read in conjunction with Article 187 of that directive and in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality must be interpreted as meaning that it precludes national legislation on the adjustment of deductions of value added tax (VAT) under which the extended adjustment period laid down in accordance with that Article 187 for immovable property acquired as capital goods does not apply to construction works, subject to VAT as a supply of services within the meaning of that directive, which involve a significant extension and/or substantial renovation of the building concerned by that work and the effects of which have a duration of an economic life which corresponds to that of a new building.
2. Article 190 of Directive 2006/112, read in conjunction with Article 187 of that directive and in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality must be interpreted as meaning that it has direct effect with the result that the taxable person may rely on it before the national court against the competent tax authority in order to have the extended adjustment period laid down for immovable property acquired as capital goods applied to the construction works which were carried out for that taxable person, subject to VAT as a supply of services within the meaning of that directive, where that authority has refused to apply the extended adjustment period to those goods by relying on national legislation such as that referred to in the first question.”.

IV.3. Judicial Courts
Judgement of the Supreme Court of Justice, of September 17, Case no. 3765/16.4T8VFR.P1.S1: Traffic accident. Accident at Work. Accumulation of Compensation. Calculation of compensation. Quantification criteria. Equity. Non-pecuniary damage. Property Damage. Biological Damage. Loss of Earning Capacity. Right to Compensation. Injured party. Insurer. Civil liability arising from an accident at work.
Summary:
"In an accident that is both a traffic accident and an accident at work, each of the compensations is based on different criteria and has its own functions and objectives, so the compensation awarded to the injured party for the loss of earning capacity, at work, does not include compensation for the biological damage, embodied in the somatic-psychic and functional impairment of the injured party, with personal affect, within the scope of civil jurisdiction."
Judgement of the Supreme Court of Justice, of September 19, Case no. 5659/23.8T8PRT.P1.S1: Non-contractual liability. Unjust enrichment. Presuppositions. Immovable Property. Construction work. Improvements. Compensation. Patrimonial Advantage. Calculation of Compensation. Obligation to compensate. Liquidation in Execution of Judgement. Requirements.
Summary:
"I - The obligation to make restitution based on unjust enrichment includes all that has been obtained at the expense of the impoverished person or, if restitution in kind is not possible, the corresponding value.
II - The occupation and use of the rustic building acquired by the Author, by the Defendants, against her will, implied an unjustified enrichment of the RR at the expense of the Author, so the respective legal consequence is the imposition on them of the obligation to return the value corresponding to the enrichment (art. 473º nº1 CC).
III - Although the amount to be repaid must be fixed in the judgement, whenever possible, it can be relegated to later settlement when, in the absence of facts to determine the exact amount, it is possible to foresee its proof. Otherwise, immediate determination is justified and recourse may be had to equity."
Judgement of the Lisbon Court of Appeal, of September 12, Case no. 1662/19.0T8LLE-A.L1-2: Tenancy. Defects. Faulty Compliance. Exception of Non-Compliance. Bad Faith Litigation.
Summary:
"1. The existence of faults in the property which make it impracticable for it to be used as a habitation, and the knowledge of these faults by the landlady, who undertook to repair them, and although she repeatedly stated that she would carry out the necessary works, never did so, constitutes a breach of the tenancy agreement in violation of her obligation to ensure the enjoyment of the property for its intended purpose, under the terms of articles 1031 b) and 1032 of the Civil Code..
2. In a situation of faulty compliance with the contract, in order for the exception of non-compliance provided for in article 428 of the Civil Code to be invoked against the opposing party, it is necessary to verify, in addition to the co-respectiveness of the instalments, a proportionality between the obligation whose compliance is refused and the one on which the refusal is based. This is a requirement of the principle of good faith, which should guide the parties in the fulfilment of any contractual performance, in accordance with the provisions of Article 762(2) of the Civil Code, and this is also the interpretation compatible with the requirement of the synallagmatic relationship that is at the root of this exception.
3. Within the scope of the tenancy agreement, the tenant may withhold payment of the rent if this is proportional to the devaluation that the faults cause to the tenancy, which will occur if they make it impossible to use it for the intended purpose for which the rent is in return, and until the necessary works have been carried out to remove them from the landlord's responsibility.
4. The Appellant's assertion that the Claimants altered the truth of the facts, when they always occupied and resided in the property and did not allow the landlady to carry out the works, does not allow them to be condemned as litigants in bad faith under the terms of Article 562(2)(b) of the CPC, when this assertion is not supported by the proven facts."
Judgement of the Coimbra Court of Appeal, of September 10, Case no. 3198/22.3T8LRA.C1: Renewal of annullable company deliberations. Content defect. Amortization deliberation. Effects. Lapse.
Summary:
" I - With regard to the renewal of annullable deliberations, article 62(2) of the CSC does not expressly exclude the possibility of renewing deliberations that are annullable due to defects in content, but only requires that the deliberation does not contain the defects of the previous one. In substantive terms, the renewal deliberation is a new deliberation that is intended to be free of the defects of the original deliberation, with the effects, identical to those of the original deliberation, being attributable and reported to the renewal deliberation, which means that the rule is for the renewal deliberation to repeat and replace the original deliberation, occupying its place retrospectively by default - in these precise terms, the STJ ruling of 22. 09.2001, researchable www.dgsi.pt.jstj, case no. 675/10.2TBPTS.L1.S1.
II - A company resolution that renews an amortization deliberation is itself an amortization deliberation and is subject to the same validity requirements as the deliberation it is intended to renew, namely in terms of lapse, so that the period granted for the original right to amortization would always have to be fulfilled.
III - Otherwise, the renewal deliberation would only be subject to the ordinary limitation period of 20 years, which cannot be accepted, as it could subvert the security and certainty of the life of companies and, inherently, of their shareholders, if it were allowed that after 5, 10 or more years, a resolution renewing a deliberation whose object had been the amortization of shares could be taken, beyond the period that the law stipulates for the original amortization itself."
IV.4. Administrative and Tax Courts
Judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court, of September 11, Case no. 01972/16.9BELRS: IRC. Fair Value. Transfer. Capital. Impairment losses.
Summary:
"I - For the purposes of calculating the limit laid down in Article 43(2) of the IRC Code, all expenditure that must be entered in the accounts as "remuneration, wages or salaries" must be considered staff costs;
II - Article 45(3) of the IRC Code does not apply when accounting losses are involved as a result of applying the fair value criterion to the capital instruments provided for in Article 18(9)(a) of the same Code;
III - Article 45(3) of the IRC Code is also not applicable when impairment losses recognised under Article 35(2) of the same Code are at issue;
IV - For the purposes of Article 3(1) of Law 49/2013 of 16 July, expenditure is considered to have been incurred when the assets are acquired and not on the date of payment."
Judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court, of September 12, Case no. 03564/23.7BELSB: Public Procurement. Pre-Contractual Litigation. Document. Optional. Causes of Exclusion. Exclusion of proposals.
Summary:
"I - When a public procurement procedure is opened, it is by submitting a proposal that interested parties express to the contracting authority their willingness to enter into a contract with the contracting authority, and the manner in which they intend to do so, in compliance with the legal obligations and those resulting from the procedure documents.
II - The proposals that those interested in a public procurement procedure decide to submit must scrupulously comply with the requirements of the law and the rules laid down in the procedure documents, which requires interested candidates to be well (fully) acquainted with the procedure documents in question.
III - The submission of tenders that contain reference to terms or conditions contrary to those set out in the tender specifications constitutes a situation that may put into question the real, clear and firm will to contract of the tenderer, as well as the way in which the tenderer intends to do so, which, under the terms of Article 70(2)(b) of the CCP, must lead to the exclusion of the proposal..
IV - In the light of the provisions of Article 57(3) of the CCP, which refers to the final part of paragraph 1(b) of the same article, any documents that the tenderer submits with his proposal must be considered ‘optional documents’ and form an integral part thereof, even when their submission is not required by the procedural program or is the result of a legal obligation, and regardless of whether such documents refer to attributes or terms or conditions.
V - "By determining that the violation of aspects of the execution of the contract not subject to competition must give rise to the exclusion of the proposal, the legislator ruled out other solutions that, in the abstract, would seem possible to deal with this pathology, such as allowing the correction of that part of the proposal or simply disregarding (recognizing as unwritten) the terms or conditions that do not comply with the specifications.""

V.2.2. Industrial Property
On September 5, the first meeting of the Working Group (WG) set up to analyse the draft amendments to the Industrial Property Code (CPI), in accordance with the Order of the Assistant Secretary of State for Justice No. 9123/2024 of August 12, took place at the INPI's premises.
The aim of the revision of the IPC is to bring the Portuguese IP system into line with international best practice, namely to strengthen the obligations of public entities in valuing the system and the IP rights that are active and in use, to develop mechanisms for greater legal certainty in the protection of invention patents, to strengthen the potential of Portuguese as a language of innovation given the size of the Lusophone market and also to strengthen the role of industrial property professionals, encouraging greater credibility and valorization of the system.
On September 12, provisional statistics on Industrial Property Rights (IPR) applications and grants for September 2024 were released:
i) In the first eight months of the year, 588 national invention applications were filed and 135 national inventions were granted, compared to 130 granted in 2023;
ii) The number of European Patent validations filed in Portugal between January and August 2024 fell by 7.9 per cent year-on-year (1,763 in 2024, 1,914 in 2023);
iii) There were 14,617 applications for registration of National Trademarks and Other Distinctive Trade Signs (OSDC) from January to August 2024, representing an increase of 2.2%. In the same period, 11,520 National Trademarks and OSDCs were granted (10,782 in 2023);
iv) The number of objects included in National Design applications rose from 554 between January and August 2024 to 454 in 2023.
On September 18, the INPI announced that it was outlining a new strategic plan for the period 2025-2030. This plan will be based on 5 structural strategic pillars:
- Investing in the organisation;
- Accelerating Digital Transformation;
- Promoting Excellence in the Life Cycle of Industrial Property Rights;
- Investing in Innovation in the Industrial Property System;
- Promoting the Partnership Ecosystem.
