In recent years, the Spanish tax authorities have introduced the VERI*FACTU system to improve the efficiency and security of electronic invoicing. This system creates a framework that companies must follow to ensure compliance with tax regulations. In the following, we summarise the most important aspects of the law and address frequently asked questions about its implications and technical requirements.
VERI*FACTU stands for "Sistemas de emisión de facturas verificables", which translates to "Systems for issuing verifiable invoices". This system is designed to regulate how invoices are created, transmitted and stored, and to ensure that all e-invoicing procedures comply with the standards set by the Spanish tax authorities. Find out more on our detailed page about VERI*FACTU in Spain.
The system affects taxpayers, software developers, the tax administration, accountants and, indirectly, consumers, who benefit from greater transparency. Developers must ensure that their software meets the technical requirements, while companies are responsible for the compliance of their invoicing processes.
To meet the requirements, invoicing software systems must meet various security standards, including the management of electronic certificates, secure transmission protocols and data integrity. All invoices must be provided in XML format and be traceable to ensure clear transparency for the tax authority.
The VERI*FACTU system ensures that invoices in Spain are created and transmitted according to strict standards. The process involves the creation of compliant invoices, secure authentication, data transmission and compliance monitoring by the tax authority. These steps ensure that all relevant information is stored correctly and is traceable.
