Spain’s Electronic Invoicing Law: When It Takes Effect and Who Must Comply

  • Spain’s mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime is moving into force after publication of Royal Decree 238/2026 and Order HAC/1028/2026, which also set up the public e-invoicing solution run by the tax authority.
  • Obligation start depends on prior-year turnover: businesses/professionals with annual revenue above €8 million must comply 12 months after the decree’s publication; those below €8 million have 24 months.
  • During the 12-month gap between the two phases, PDF invoices must still be sent to preserve invoicing flows between large and smaller businesses.
  • The requirement to report invoice status updates will apply 36 months after publication of the decree.
  • The article says the legal framework applies to businesses and self-employed professionals in Spain, with the official order taking effect on 6 October 2026.
