VeriFactu: Spain's New Invoice Verification System

Businesses in Spain must comply with VeriFactu, a regulation designed to combat tax fraud. The system requires invoicing software to add a QR code to each invoice that allows anyone to verify with the Spanish tax authorities (AEAT) that the invoice was properly reported. This ensures transparency and prevents invoice manipulation. Any business operating in Spain that doesn't already use the SII (Immediate Supply of Information) system will need compliant invoicing software.

Deadlines postponed: The Spanish government postponed the VeriFactu obligation by one year in December 2025 – less than 30 days before the original effective date. Legal entities must now comply by January 2027, sole traders by July 2027.
