Compliance Standard for Invoicing Software in Spain

VeriFactu is a compliance framework from Spain’s Tax Agency (AEAT) that changes how invoicing software must create invoices behind the scenes. Each issued invoice must generate a standardized, traceable, tamper-resistant record—and in VeriFactu mode, that record can be reported to AEAT. Your invoice can still look the same, but the software must keep a secure audit trail so invoices can’t be quietly edited after they’re issued.

ready-to-use solution in invoice maker

Billdu will handle all VeriFactu requirements behind the scenes, so your invoices stay fully compliant from day one.

VeriFactu-ready workflow: Billdu supports the VeriFactu process for submitting invoice records to AEAT.
Clear statuses:: You always see where the invoice stands (e.g., Draft → Processing → final result).
QR code when successfully registered: QR appears only after the invoice is Registered.
No “silent edits”: Once you submit an invoice to VeriFactu, it becomes locked—corrections are handled the compliant way (by reissuing with corrected details).
Keep sending simple PDFs: Your customers still receive a readable PDF invoice, with VeriFactu verification data when applicable.

How Billdu helps with verifactu

Activate VeriFactu in Billdu mobile app

Turn it on from the Billdu mobile app (Settings → VeriFactu). Activation requires an active paid plan, and once enabled for your company, it can’t be switched off.

Billdu validates your business details before you start

Before activation, Billdu checks your Business Profile (company identity fields like address + NIF + email) so your invoices don’t get blocked later during reporting.

Create an invoice as usual (it starts as a Draft)

You add items, VAT, totals, and customer details like you do today. When you save, the invoice stays as a Draft—editable, with no QR code yet.

Optional: use guided fields for cleaner VeriFactu reporting

If needed, Billdu helps you fine-tune invoice data with prefilled options (units, IVA/VAT, exempt/not-subject categories, and reason codes) to match the VeriFactu classifications.

Upload to VeriFactu (We handle the background record + AEAT flow)

Before activation, Billdu checks your Business Profile (company identity fields like address + NIF + email) so your invoices don’t get blocked later during reporting.

Get a clear status + QR code when registered

Billdu shows the outcome with simple statuses. QR code appears only when the invoice is successfully Registered. If there’s an issue, you fix the data and reissue correctly (instead of “editing history”).

Who needs to comply & When

VeriFactu applies to businesses and professionals (including autónomos) who use invoicing software under Spain’s state rules in “territorio común.” It’s expected to become mandatory in two phases:

1) January 1, 2027 — businesses subject to Corporate Income Tax

2) July 1, 2027 — most other affected businesses and professionals (including many autónomos)

If you’re under foral tax rules (Navarra or the Basque Country: Álava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa), this state regulation generally doesn’t apply—follow your local invoicing requirements instead.

Get Ready for VeriFactu in Minutes

Confirm your tax territory: Make sure you’re in territorio común (not Navarra or the Basque Country foral system).
Complete your business profile in Billdu app: Add your company name, full address, NIF, and email so invoices don’t fail reporting.
Keep client details clean: Save the customer name + identifier (NIF for Spanish clients / CIN for non-Spanish) plus email and postal code.
Create invoices as Draft first: Double-check everything before submitting, because VeriFactu is built to prevent “quiet edits.”
Submit to VeriFactu and check the status: Aim for Registered (that’s when the invoice is final and the QR code appears).
Fix errors (if appear) the compliant way: Correct the details and reissue invoice properly (don’t try to edit past invoices).
Stay consistent with numbering: Clean series/numbering and organized records make ongoing compliance much easier.

Frequently asked questions

What is VeriFactu in Spain?

VeriFactu is an AEAT compliance framework for invoicing software (SIF) that requires standardized, traceable, tamper-resistant invoice records—and, in VeriFactu mode, electronic reporting of those records to AEAT.

Is VeriFactu the same as e-invoicing?

Not exactly. VeriFactu is about how your software creates and protects invoice records (and can send them to AEAT), while “e-invoicing” usually refers to sending invoices electronically to customers.

Who does VeriFactu apply to (and who’s exempt)?

It applies to businesses/professionals using invoicing software under Spain’s state rules in territorio común. If you’re under foral rules (Navarra or the Basque Country: Álava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa), this state regulation generally doesn’t apply.

When does VeriFactu become mandatory?

AEAT deadlines in your FAQ: 01/01/2027 for Corporate Income Tax entities, and 01/07/2027 for other taxpayers in scope.

Is Billdu VeriFactu-compliant / compatible?

Yes—Billdu supports VeriFactu reporting flow and shows clear statuses so you know when an invoice is successfully registered.

How do I enable VeriFactu in Billdu—do I need a paid plan?

VeriFactu can be activated only in the Billdu mobile app (web shows status only) and requires an active paid plan (Trial/Free can’t activate).

Can I disable VeriFactu after enabling it?

No—once enabled in Billdu, VeriFactu is a permanent setup for that company (not something you can switch off later).
