Spain Clarifies Verifactu Regulation for Spreadsheet-Based Invoicing

  • Spain’s General Directorate of Taxes (GDT) issued a ruling clarifying the application of the Verifactu Regulation.
  • Verifactu requires taxpayers to use certified billing software to ensure the integrity of invoicing records.
  • The ruling states that the Verifactu Regulation does not apply to taxpayers who issue invoices manually.
  • However, spreadsheets and word processors may be considered billing software if they are used systematically to generate invoices, store invoicing data, and manage billing records.
  • Businesses using spreadsheets should assess whether their invoicing practices meet the technical and functional requirements of the regulation.
  • The GDT interpretation reinforces the importance of adapting to the new invoicing framework to avoid noncompliance risks.
