- Spain has opened a temporary opt-out window (26 Dec 2025–31 Jan 2026) for companies that voluntarily joined the SII system, allowing them to exit for 2026 after the VERI*FACTU mandate was postponed to 2027.
- The opt-out is only available to voluntary SII participants, not those legally required to use SII, and is done via Form 036 or 037, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2026.
- Eligible companies can also deregister from the Monthly VAT Refund Register (REDEME) if they joined it to enter SII.
- Despite the VERI*FACTU delay, non-compliant invoicing software has been banned from sale in Spain since 29 July 2025, affecting both vendors and in-house developers.
- The VERI*FACTU Ordinance covers technical standards for invoicing software but does not regulate mandatory B2B e-invoicing, which will be addressed in future legislation.
