About Artur
Artur is a Portuguese-language app for self-employed workers who invoice using recibos verdes. It helps them see how much money to reserve for VAT (IVA), income tax (IRS) and social security, follow deadlines and prepare their tax declarations instead of leaving everything to the last minute.
With each issued invoice the app calculates the VAT to be paid and the social security contribution to set aside, and it shows a combined reserve so tax money is kept separate from income. An AI assistant answers questions about invoices, expenses and taxes using the user's own data, for example by comparing invoices with expenses. The site also offers simulators and guides.
Artur integrates with InvoiceXpress and Segurança Social Direta, is available on the web and as a macOS app, and states that data is encrypted. It is a hosted commercial product that offers seven days free, and it suits freelancers working in Portugal.
