Digital transformation in tax management continues to advance in Spain. The Council of Ministers has approved an extension of the deadline for companies and professionals to adapt to the new electronic invoicing requirements established in the Veri*Factu system, a regulation that applies exclusively within Spanish territory.
What is Veri*Factu?
Veri*Factu is part of the legal framework established in Spain to combat tax fraud associated with the use of dual-use software and to promote the traceability, integrity and transparency of invoicing processes. This regulation sets out specific requirements that the computer systems used to issue invoices must meet, guaranteeing:
Inalterability of records.
Preservation and traceability of information.
Accessibility and legibility in the systems.
In other words, the Veri*Factu system seeks to put an end to opaque practices, ensuring greater traceability of economic operations, in line with the digitalization strategy of the Spanish tax administration.
Key dates for entry into force
The new Royal Decree approved on April 1, 2025 sets a new official application calendar in Spain, giving companies and professionals more room to adapt:
Companies (subject to Corporate Income Tax in Spain):
They have until January 1, 2026 to adapt their invoicing systems.
Self-employed professionals and other taxpayers:
They have until July 1, 2026.
Producers and distributors of invoicing software:
They must have their systems adapted within nine months of the entry into force of Order HAC/1177/2024, that is, before July 2025.
This change not only extends deadlines, it also clarifies important exceptions, such as the exclusion of certain professionals who use the Immediate Supply of Information (SII VAT) and invoice in the recipient’s name.
What does this mean for your company?
If your company operates in Spain and uses electronic invoicing systems, you will need to check whether your current software meets the technical specifications of the Veri*Factu Regulation. Otherwise, you will have to:
Plan the update or migration of your system.
Verify that the software provider is certified and aligned with the new regulation.
Ensure that invoicing records meet the required standards of integrity and traceability.
