From today onwards, entrepreneurs will have access to documents such as the Company Card and the contribution status, through the Company’s Digital Wallet, which will function as an extension of the application.
The new Digital Company Wallet, which will be launched at the Palácio da Bolsa, in Porto, provides, in the first phase, the Company Card, the Social Security Contribution Status Document, the Tax Status Document from the Tax Authority and the Central Beneficiary Register.
The launch event will be attended by the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, the Deputy Minister and State Reform, Gonçalo Matias, the Minister of Justice, Rita Alarcão Júdice, and the Minister of Economy and Territorial Cohesion, Manuel Castro Almeida.
According to the Agency for the Modernization of the State (ARTE), the Digital Wallet “will have a phased evolution”, with the addition of new services “such as the Permanent Commercial Certificate, ENI profiles, SME certifications, electronic signature, electronic notifications, tax and contributory alerts, consultation and participation in public tenders”.
Portugal is the first country in the European Union (EU) to provide a tool of this nature, which is aligned with the European Regulation eIDAS 2.0, which requires member states to provide, for each citizen, a digital space that brings together their documentation.
With the full implementation of the Regulation, ARTE hopes that “the Company’s Digital Wallet can be used in European Union countries that implement the ‘European Business Wallet’, ensuring cross-border interoperability”.
The ‘Business Wallet’ also meets the European Commission’s Omnibus regulation proposal, which promotes a series of measures aimed at simplifying administrative processes for companies.
