Getting an invoice ("fatura") for home services
"Passa fatura?" — does it come with an invoice? — is a common question in Portugal, since a proper fatura with your NIF (tax number) can matter for your own tax records, and it's a normal thing to ask a service provider.
What to know
- A fatura is a formal invoice or receipt, typically issued with the buyer's NIF
- It's common practice in Portugal to ask a service provider if they issue one
- Self-employed workers and businesses in Portugal generally have invoicing and tax obligations under Portuguese law
- Keeping invoices can be useful for your own records, and in some cases for tax purposes
- Requirements and rules can change, so check current guidance if this matters for your specific situation
How this works on Kwickly
Task Doers on Kwickly are independent providers, and they're responsible for their own invoicing, tax filings, and legal compliance — including issuing invoices or receipts where required by law. If you need a fatura for a task, it's best to confirm this with your Task Doer directly in the app chat before booking.
Kwickly's role
Kwickly provides the platform, payments through Stripe, and an in-app chat to confirm details like this — but invoicing and tax compliance are between you and the Task Doer, since Task Doers are independent providers, not Kwickly employees.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask a Task Doer for an invoice?
Yes — it's a normal question to ask. Confirm this with your Task Doer in the app chat before booking, since invoicing is their responsibility as an independent provider.
Does Kwickly issue invoices for tasks?
Kwickly provides payment receipts through Stripe for the platform transaction. A formal fatura for the service itself is issued by the Task Doer, not Kwickly, if you need one.
Are Task Doers required to issue invoices?
Task Doers are responsible for complying with Portuguese tax and invoicing law where it applies to their work — this is set out in Kwickly's Task Doer Terms.
What if a Task Doer can't provide a fatura?
Confirm this before booking if it matters for your situation, since not every provider may be able to issue one for every job.
