Modelo 720: practical verification sequence

Use this when founders hold accounts, securities, or assets abroad and are unsure whether exposure actually translates into filing duty.

Confirm whether the relevant category exceeds the threshold using year-end balances and category-specific rules.
Check whether the position was already reported and whether any update trigger exists for the current cycle.
Reconcile account holder identity, beneficial owner profile, and tax residency timeline before filing.

Foreign entity + tax residency: reduce false alarms, isolate real risk

Most mistakes happen when founders assume every foreign-company outcome is equal. It is not. Classification, control, and cash-flow facts matter.

Verify how the entity is classified and how profit attribution is treated in the founder residence jurisdiction.
Separate retained earnings, distributions, and salary/freelance flows before estimating personal exposure.
Document supporting facts that lower misalignment risk if income is already reported correctly.

DAC7/CESOP visibility map for SaaS and marketplaces

This is about information visibility first, not automatic non-compliance. Use it to align data before filing windows.

Map every payment rail and platform account to the legal entity receiving funds.
Identify which records may be reported automatically and which jurisdiction receives them.
Pre-reconcile platform exports with VAT/OSS and income records before deadlines.
