⚠️ A Major Change for Every Autónomo in Spain
Spain is moving toward full digital transparency. The Tax Agency (AEAT) is enforcing
a new digital invoicing system called Sistema de Facturación Verificada (VeriFactu),
and every autónomo must comply.
Whether you earn €300 or €300,000 — if you issue invoices, this law applies to you.
⛔ What Will NOT Be Accepted
- PDF invoices
- Excel invoices
- Word invoice templates
- Manual / handwritten invoices
- Unverified invoice numbers
- Non-secure editing systems
If your system can be edited manually, it will not meet AEAT verification rules.
✔️ What AEAT Requires (Simple English)
- Verified digital invoice format
- Secure audit trail (no manual edits)
- Data traceability
- AEAT export compatibility
- Integrity protection
- Secure digital storage
- Automatic sequential numbering
Any invoicing software you use must support these features.
🗓 What Happens If You Ignore the July 1 Deadline?
- Your invoices may NOT be considered valid
- Your accountant cannot submit your books properly
- AEAT may request digital records you cannot provide
- You may face fines for non-verifiable invoices
- Your books may be flagged for inconsistencies
Even if AEAT delays rollout (possible), this regulation is NOT going away.
Preparing early protects your business.
