regime simplificado

A simplified tax regime for the self-employed. Tax is worked out not on profit but on a share of turnover: part of the amount is treated as notional expenses, and the rest counts as income. While turnover is small, the law does not require you to have an accountant.

Where you come across it. Opening an atividade and working on recibos verdes.
The other regime is contabilidade organizada, which requires an accountant; you are moved onto it as your turnover grows.
