Hacienda retrasa a octubre de 2028 la entrada en vigor de Verifactu para empresas y autónomos

The Spanish Tax Agency has announced that the final implementation of the invoice verification system, Verifactu, will be postponed once again to October 2028. This decision comes alongside the announcement of a mandatory electronic invoice. The agency made this announcement on Monday, coinciding with the electoral advance, following the submission of a transition roadmap proposal by the Spanish Association of Tax Advisers (Aedaf) in June.

This proposal, developed by an expert group on indirect taxes, was presented to both the media and all parliamentary political groups. After debate in the Senate, the agency made the decision. According to the association, the goal of their roadmap proposal was to achieve an orderly transition to a harmonized model, reducing costs, avoiding duplications, and enhancing the efficiency of the tax system.

This coordination will also progressively align the Spanish system with the digital information model that will be mandatory in the European Union from 2030, avoiding the need for successive adaptations of invoicing systems in a very short period of time.
