B2B & VeriFactu Ready · E-Invoicing Software for Spain

Simplify E-Invoicing in Spain with Bytize

Bytize connects your ERP to Spain's B2B e-invoicing rules, issuing structured invoices and sending the required copy to the Tax Agency's public solution.

VeriFactu and AEAT e-invoicing model in Spain

Businesses with turnover above €8 million must issue B2B e-invoices from 6 October 2027; all others from 6 October 2028 (Royal Decree 238/2026).

What is E-Invoicing in Spain?

E-Invoicing in Spain now has two parts. Royal Decree 238/2026 makes structured B2B e-invoices mandatory between businesses and professionals, and VeriFactu sets rules for invoicing software so records can't be altered and can be sent to the Tax Agency (AEAT).

Spain uses a hybrid model: you can exchange invoices through a private platform, the AEAT's free public solution, or both. If you don't use the public solution, a copy of each invoice in UBL goes to it.

What an e-invoice in Spain must follow

  • Format: Structured electronic invoices, with UBL among the accepted formats
  • Exchange: Private platforms or the AEAT's public solution, which interconnect
  • Copy to the AEAT: When the public solution isn't used, a faithful UBL copy is sent to it
  • Status: Acceptance, rejection and payment of invoices must be communicated
  • Public sector: B2G invoices continue in Facturae through FACe

Who must comply

  • B2B invoices between businesses and professionals where the buyer is established in Spain
  • Self-billing and third-party invoicing are included
  • Certain simplified invoices are excluded
  • VeriFactu applies to taxpayers using invoicing software outside the SII immediate-supply system

  • Stay compliant without extra work

    Invoices meet Spain's B2B and VeriFactu rules, so you're ready well before your deadline.

    Every invoice and status message is stored in a tamper-evident archive you can retrieve and export when the tax authority asks.
