Business Activity Code Selection (CAE & CIRS)

€65.00

The right CAE (economic activity code) and CIRS (income category for IRS) ensure your registration, VAT regime, and withholdings match what you actually do. We analyze your activities and recommend precise codes so you start clean—and avoid rework, penalties, or mismatched taxation later.

What you get (deliverables):

  • Recommended CAE code(s) (and sub-activities where relevant)

  • CIRS category mapping

  • Notes on VAT & IRS that apply to your case

Timeline: 1–2 business days after intake.

Prerequisites: A short description of your services/products.

Good to know:

  • Correct codes affect VAT regime, IRS tax, and Social Security implications.

  • If you operate multiple lines (e.g., services + digital products), we’ll map primary vs. secondary codes.

  • For regulated activities, pair this with our Licensing Requirements Guide.

Not included: Filing the registration or changing codes at Finanças (book “Freelancer Registration” or “Company Registration”).
