Veri*Factu postponed: What cash register manufacturers must now take into account

The Spanish tax authority has postponed the mandatory introduction of the Veri*Factu electronic invoicing system for self-employed persons and small businesses by one year.

Instead of early 2026, the regulation will now only come into force in 2027. The aim of the system is to increase transparency in invoicing and prevent tax fraud.

General conditions

Requirements for cash register manufacturers remain

Despite the postponement, the following still applies: since the middle of this year, cash register manufacturers have only been allowed to market software that meets the requirements of Veri*Factu. This means that all new cash register systems must already comply with the technical specifications in order to be legally compliant.

Why the deadline was extended

The decision to postpone is intended to give companies more time to adapt their systems. Many businesses had difficulties implementing the complex requirements within the deadline.
