Verifactu Spain: Start date, requirements and effects

What is Veri*Factu and why is it important?

Verifactu was launched by the Spanish government 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 invoicing software to process sales and other tax-relevant transactions.

Important deadlines and requirements for Verifactu

The deadlines for software developers remain the same: 9 months from the publication date, with a deadline of July 29, 2025. For taxpayers, the date also remains unchanged (July 2025), but the tax authority has indicated that this date could be extended until official confirmation.

In order to meet Verifactu's requirements, billing systems must comply with specific criteria for data integrity, time stamping and data storage. Here is an overview of the most important requirements:

Billing systems must enforce data integrity and ensure that data records remain unchanged.
If the integrity cannot be guaranteed, a warning must be generated and the event should be reported.
An error margin of up to 60 seconds is permitted for time stamps of billing data records.
All billing records must be retained, although storage outside the original system is permitted.
Billing entries, including new and canceled records, must be saved in XML format with UTF-8 encoding, with the specific structure, content and format specified in the purchase order.
