- Spain’s General Directorate of Taxes (GDT) issued a ruling clarifying the application of the Verifactu Regulation.
- Verifactu requires taxpayers to use certified billing software to ensure the integrity of invoicing records.
- The ruling states that the Verifactu Regulation does not apply to taxpayers who issue invoices manually.
- However, spreadsheets and word processors may be considered billing software if they are used systematically to generate invoices, store invoicing data, and manage billing records.
- Businesses using spreadsheets should assess whether their invoicing practices meet the technical and functional requirements of the regulation.
- The GDT interpretation reinforces the importance of adapting to the new invoicing framework to avoid noncompliance risks.
