- Starting as early as 2027, all businesses involved in B2B transactions in Spain must issue, send, and store invoices in a structured electronic format.
- The mandate aims to close the VAT gap, accelerate payment cycles, and align with EU-wide digital reforms under the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative.
- The legal basis is Spain’s Crea y Crece Law (Law 18/2022), which targets reducing administrative burdens, combating tax evasion, and increasing financial transparency.
- The requirement applies to all companies and self-employed professionals in Spain, foreign businesses with Spanish VAT registration, and potentially non-resident businesses and international platforms.
- Some details, especially regarding micro-enterprises and niche sectors, are still awaiting clarification.
