New invoicing regulations
Spain has firmly communicated its intentions to overhaul its e-invoicing system significantly via the publication of a draft resolution published on 21 February 2022. This comes alongside the backdrop of an incentive to modernise the computer programs that support the accounting, billing and management of businesses across the country.
Amongst the new requirements being proposed by the Spanish Ministry of Finance is the obligation to include QR codes and ID codes in Spanish invoices.
The draft resolution does not specifically refer to B2B e-invoicing. A draft resolution to this effect was published in the summer of 2021 which extends the obligation for e-invoicing to all companies and freelancers in Spain.
Both resolutions serve to illustrate the extent of the e-invoicing developments we can expect to see in Spain in the coming months, as Spain proposes to expand the scope of entities subject to mandatory e-invoicing, as well as introducing radical changes to the content of the invoice as well. It is no coincidence that these resolutions have been published relatively close together, underlining Spain’s motivation to harmonise its VAT-related operations and adopt a robust e-invoicing process.
