- Spain has approved a Royal Decree mandating structured electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) for all B2B transactions, as part of the Crea y Crece Law.
- The new rules require invoices to be in a structured electronic format and introduce electronic reporting of invoice status (issued, accepted, paid) to improve transparency and compliance.
- A hybrid model allows businesses to use interoperable private e-invoicing platforms, ensuring flexibility and integration with existing systems.
- Implementation will be phased: companies with turnover above €8 million must comply 12 months after the Ministerial Order is published; all others, 24 months after.
- The B2B e-invoicing mandate is separate from the Veri*Factu initiative, with both running in parallel to modernize Spain’s VAT and reporting systems.
