Preparing for the Spanish mandatory e-invoicing
Regardless of the obligation since 1st January 2026 to adapt the invoicing software to the technical standards of the Veri*factu Ordinance, companies will also be obliged during 2026 to mandatory e-invoicing as regards their local B2B transactions following the changes introduced by Law 56/2007 of 28 December of Measures to Promote de Information Society (the, so called, Ley Crea y Crece”).
In our experience, Spanish subsidiaries and branches of multinational groups which use internal invoicing systems may face problems to adapt them to the specificities of Spanish standards. If so, we have suggested the possibility to “opt-out” of the obligation to comply with the Veri*factu Ordinance so companies can focus its time and resources to prepare to the not so far away mandatory Spanish B2B e-invoicing.

We can help the company in the process of deciding the best line of action to be ready when the mandatory local B2B e-invoicing comes into force by 2026, deciding among the possible existing alternatives:
- Upgrading the internal invoicing system so it is enhanced with those features that are required to comply with the Spanish mandatory e-invoicing.
- Integrating an external compliant invoicing solution.
- Externalizing the invoicing function with a third-party compliant service provider

In our opinion, the analysis on which is the best line of action to be adopted requires to focus not only in the specific domestic regulations, but also to take into account a wider scenario that considers the future impact resulting from the changes that are taking place at an international level in the areas of e-reporting and e-invoicing (i.e. introduction of mandatory e-invoicing in Belgium, France, Germany or Poland, or the changes that will result in Europe when the plan ViDA(“VAT in the Digital Age”) is implemented).
