- Extended Deadlines: The implementation deadlines for VERI*FACTU have been extended by six months due to legislative delays and the late release of technical specifications, with new compliance dates set for January 1, 2026, for corporate taxpayers and July 1, 2026, for all other taxpayers.
- Purpose of VERI*FACTU: Approved in 2023, VERI*FACTU mandates technical requirements for billing software to ensure invoice traceability and compliance with the Spanish tax authority (AEAT), affecting all taxpayers including SMEs and freelancers, with specific exemptions for those already using the SII e-reporting system.
- New Digital Services Launched: To facilitate compliance, the AEAT has introduced new online services, including web services for submitting and retrieving invoice data, QR code functionality for verifying invoice authenticity, and options to download sent and received invoices.
