For real estate agencies operating in Spain, maintaining impeccable compliance with tax regulations is as crucial as closing the deal. We have received confirmation regarding a significant update to the VeriFactu Regulation (Decree 1007/2023), which governs the technical requirements for invoicing systems.
Following the approval of a new Decree last month, the Spanish administration has officially postponed the mandatory implementation of these new invoicing standards by one year.
What this means for your agency
The adaptation period for invoicing software—designed to prevent the manipulation of accounting records and ensure tax transparency—has been extended. This provides companies with additional time to ensure their administrative systems are fully compliant without disrupting ongoing operations.
The New Deadlines
The schedule for the entry into force has been modified as follows:
- Standard Compliance: Companies that were initially required to comply by 1 January 2026 will now have until 1 January 2027.
- Specific Cases & Self-Employed: For companies and self-employed individuals (autónomos) whose original deadline was 1 July 2026, the new mandatory date is 1 July 2027.
While this extension offers relief, we recommend that agencies continue their adaptation process to ensure a seamless transition to the VeriFactu system by the new 2027 deadlines.
