    Official Documentation

    ARTIGO 1424.ºCÓDIGO CIVILDL 268/94

    📋 Context & Applicability

    As a rule, the accounting must be clear and distinguished between the common reserve fund and current management.

    The common reserve fund must generally be funded with 10% of the annual contributions, as stipulated in the Civil Code.

    • Maintaining a separate account is recommended but not mandatory.
    • The accounting must reflect the expenses and revenues of the common reserve fund.

    ✅ Technical Checklist

    • Verify if there is a separate account for the common reserve fund.
    • Ensure that the 10% contributions are being correctly accounted for.
    Applicability depends on good accounting organization.

    💡 Practical Example

    Scenario: The total condominium fees are €1000 and there was an expense of €50 for window replacement.

    Calculation: CRF = 10% of €1000 = €100; accumulated CRF = €100 - €50 = €50.

    Result: The CRF accumulated €50 after the expense.
