The software certification includes changes that have approved the Data Electronic Processing Systems expiry requirements. These changes are included on the context of the Legal Scheme for the Electronic Submission of Taxpayer Accounting Elements.

The software companies are required to include on the invoicing informative software the software certification requirements in force that are certified by the AGT and that can be established by Legislation. In this context, updates are mandatory so that the software incorporates the current tax requirements.

Among these changes, we highlight:

Impossibility to use documents with the fiscal designation “VD”

The document “VD” will not be considered valid in the internal validation of AGT systems. Even though it is part of the invoicing and SAFT structure legislation, the AGT has requested software manufacturers to remove it, specifying that it will soon be no longer a part of the legislation.

Standardizing postal codes to 4 digits and as optional

Postal codes do not exist in most regions of Angola. In those cases, it should be exported with 4 zeroes, otherwise the SAFT file might not be validated because of this issue.

Inserting the reference “This document cannot be used as an invoice” in all documents that are not invoice or invoice corrective document

This change supports sub-paragraph c) of no. 4, attachment I of Executive Decree no. 74/19 of March 6.

Inserting the reference “The goods were made available at the date dd/mm/yyyy " in the financial documents

According to sub-paragraph g) of art. no. 11º of the Presidential Decree no. 292/18, the invoices and the corresponding documents must contain the date and location in which the goods were made available to the purchasers and in which the services were provided. Besides, it must also contain the date in which the advanced payments were performed, if there are any.

Possibility to configure a series as not communicating only to series from the third party application

The tax payer must communicate all documents using the mechanism Communication AGT.

To avoid mistakes with the configuration "Does not communicate", that sends all documents to SAF-T, this option will only be available as series configured as “Third Party Application”.
