Spain has long led the way in digital fiscal compliance. Since 2015, electronic invoicing has been mandatory for B2G transactions. More recently, two major reforms have accelerated the digital transformation of invoicing: the Ley Crea y Crece, which mandates B2B e-invoicing starting from mid-2025, and the Ley Antifraude, which introduces the VeriFactu system—obliging businesses to use invoicing software that ensures real-time data transmission to the tax authority (AEAT), with deadlines expected from July 2025.
The Spanish e-invoicing ecosystem relies on platforms like FACe (for public administration) and FACeB2B (for private sector), using the Facturae format. These systems guarantee traceability, interoperability, and legal compliance. Additionally, businesses must adapt to the new VeriFactu requirements, which will impact both invoice generation and storage. B2Brouter, as a certified Peppol Access Point, offers full compatibility with Spanish and European standards, helping companies stay compliant with both current and future regulations.
Whether you’re issuing invoices to the public sector or adapting to B2B obligations, staying ahead of these changes is key to ensuring business continuity and compliance.
