- Spain’s AEAT has outlined a new B2B e-invoicing system with multi-layer validation and a hybrid “5-corner” model.
- Invoices will be checked for UBL/XSD syntax, EN 16931 semantics, Schematron business rules, and interoperability with the public platform; failures must be corrected within four days.
- The system uses private platforms as routing hubs, while a copy of each invoice must also be sent to AEAT’s free Public Invoicing Solution.
- The rollout begins in October 2026, with the public platform live in August 2027 and mandatory adoption phased in from October 2027 to October 2028, plus payment-status reporting in 2029.
