The Spanish Government published the mandatory use of certified billing software.
The Spanish Ministry of Finance and Public Service has officially published the long-awaited Royal Decree that establishes the mandatory use of certified billing software that meets the legal requirements of integrity, conservation, accessibility, legibility, traceability, and inalterability of billing records.
It sets standards for systems known as SIF (Sistemas Informaticos de Facturación). To comply with SIF standards, taxpayers may use a Verifactu system – a verifiable invoice issuance system. Taxpayers and SIF developers must be aware of several new deadlines set forth by the Spanish tax authority.
