1. Introduction

Good accounting is a cornerstone of any business, regardless of size or sector. Accurate and timely accounting information allows entrepreneurs to know the true financial situation of their business, make informed decisions, comply with legal and tax obligations, and plan strategically for the future.

Without prejudice to the above, it should be noted that, in addition to the general cases of residence permits (i.e. temporary non-profit residence, residence for family reunification, residence for nationals of a Member State of the European Union, ...), the Entrepreneurs Act itself provides for other types of permits of a similar nature. Thus, there are currently the following options:

The invoice is traditionally defined as an official document that serves as a record of commercial transactions, whether they are the sale or purchase of products or the provision of services.

An electronic invoice is a digital document that meets the same legal requirements as a paper invoice, but is issued and received in electronic format. To be considered valid, it must guarantee the authenticity of its origin and the integrity of its content, which is achieved through the use of advanced electronic signatures or electronic data interchange (EDI) systems.

What are stressed housing market areas?

Stressed residential market areas are those areas where there is particular difficulty in accessing housing in affordable conditions.

Why is the EU regulating Artificial Intelligence?

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought enormous benefits, but also significant risks in fundamental rights, privacy and employment. To address these challenges, the European Union has proposed the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), with the aim of regulating its use and ensuring that it is safe and ethical.

The Government approved in January 2025 a new reform of the Penal Code that toughens penalties for the crimes of tax fraud, money laundering and corruption in the public and private spheres. The measure, which will enter into force next month, aims to strengthen the fight against tax evasion and improve transparency in resource management.

What is a digital will?

A digital will is a legal document that allows a person to determine what will happen to their digital assets after their death. In the digital age, it is increasingly common for citizens to own online assets, such as digital bank accounts, social media, cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets, creating a need to regulate their post-mortem management.

As of 1 June 2025, the Digital Services Law (DSL), approved by the European Union in 2022, will be fully implemented, imposing greater responsibilities on online platforms to ensure security and transparency in the digital environment. This regulation aims to protect users from illegal content and to improve the supervision of the recommendation algorithms used by large technology companies.
