Spain: AEAT presents updated technical design for the public e-invoicing platform, phased 2027-2029

AEAT presented an updated technical design for the public e-invoicing solution — the SPFE central platform that will sit alongside private platforms in Spain's hybrid architecture — with phased implementation across 2027 to 2029. That window straddles both Spanish tracks: VeriFactu from 1 January 2027 for corporate income tax payers and 1 July 2027 for the self-employed, and the Crea y Crece B2B exchange mandate expected 1 October 2027 for turnover above EUR 8 million and 1 October 2028 for everyone else. The Ministerial Order that formally activates the Crea y Crece dates was still pending, so the technical design firming up ahead of the legal trigger is the useful signal here.

Spain publishes draft law to transpose ViDA Directive

Spain published a draft law on 1 December 2025 to partially transpose the EU ViDA Directive. The Crea y Crece Royal Decree (B2B e-invoicing for businesses >EUR 8M) implementation also approved after a 2-year delay, with 12-month notice period required. Large taxpayers begin July 2027, all VAT-registered July 2028. VeriFactu (anti-fraud certified billing software) mandatory from 1 January 2027 for corporates, July 2027 for autónomos.

Spain defers VeriFactu to 2027 — RD-Ley 15/2025 moves both waves back a year

Royal Decree-Law 15/2025 postponed the VeriFactu regime by a full year from its original January 2026 start. Corporate income tax payers now come into scope on 1 January 2027 and self-employed persons (autonomos) on 1 July 2027. VeriFactu requires certified invoicing software that either produces cryptographically signed invoice records chained by hash to the previous record, or streams billing records to AEAT in near real time. It is a separate obligation from the Crea y Crece B2B e-invoicing mandate, which governs invoice exchange between businesses rather than the anti-fraud properties of the software: expected dates there are 1 October 2027 for taxpayers above EUR 8 million turnover and 1 October 2028 for everyone else, though the Ministerial Order that formally activates them was still pending as of mid-2026. The architecture is hybrid — private platforms alongside a central public platform (SPFE) run by AEAT.
