Spain is introducing Verifactu, a system for digital tax control. The aim is to increase transparency and prevent tax fraud.
Companies, the self-employed and providers of cash register software are affected. They must meet certain technical requirements and record data securely.
Implementation is monitored by the AEAT, the Spanish tax authority. The legal basis can be found in Regulation HAC/1177/2024.
On this page you can find out what Verifactu is and what deadlines must be observed.
On October 28, 2024, the Spanish Official State Gazette (BOE) published Regulation HAC/1177/2024, which sets out technical standards for POS systems in Spain.
The new regulations impose additional requirements on POS, ERP and PMS providers. The focus is on data integrity, retention and traceability to support secure and compliant accounting.
QR codes are also used on invoices and allow direct access to AEAT (Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria) records. This function improves the verification processes.
With Verifactu, the Spanish government has created a new system. The aim is to improve transparency and security in tax reporting. The standardized transmission of tax-relevant data is intended to effectively combat tax fraud and irregularities.
The regulation primarily affects companies that use cash register software to process sales and other tax-relevant transactions. Verifactu is administered by the Spanish state tax authority, AEAT (= Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria). The authority is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of tax regulations.
The Verifactu system helps companies to implement the requirements of the Spanish tax authority AEAT. By integrating Verifactu, companies can transmit and sign their receipts in real time. This ensures that your company is legally compliant and complies with the anti-fraud law.
Law 11/2021, also known as the anti-fraud law (Ley Antifraude), has redefined the tax rules in Spain. The aim is to combat the shadow economy, which is estimated at around 200 billion euros. The regulation requires a comprehensive digital change.
The focus is on providers of cash register software, which must use so-called SIF systems. These must guarantee the integrity, immutability and complete traceability of all transactions.
Companies that do not implement the Verifactu requirements risk high fines and possible legal consequences.
Adapting your systems helps to avoid such penalties and ensure your tax compliance.
