As of June 2026: Royal Decree 238/2026 sets receive-ready for all businesses from October 2026; companies with revenue above €8 million must send from approximately October 2027; all other businesses from approximately October 2028. Confirm current timelines with the AEAT.
Spain's B2B e-invoicing mandate derives from the Crea y Crece Law (Law 18/2022) and the implementing Royal Decree 238/2026 (April 2026). The mandate requires domestic B2B invoices to be issued and received in structured electronic format. Spain accepts UBL 2.1, CII, and FacturaE (Spain's national XML format). A phased rollout applies: all businesses must be receive-ready from October 2026; those with revenue above €8 million must send from approximately October 2027; smaller businesses from approximately October 2028. The B2B submission platform network (replacing or extending FACe, currently used for B2G) is still being finalised.
Invotify Pro exports UBL 2.1, CII, and Peppol BIS 3.0 — all accepted under Spain's mandate in addition to the national FacturaE format. For B2G invoices, FACe is the existing portal. The B2B platform network under Crea y Crece is pending final regulation. Invotify generates the structured file; submission via the appropriate platform is handled by your accounting system or service provider. E-invoicing is a Pro feature.
Spain accepts three formats under Royal Decree 238/2026: FacturaE (Spain's national XML format), UBL 2.1, and CII — all conforming to the EU EN 16931 standard. Invotify Pro exports UBL 2.1, CII, and Peppol BIS 3.0. FacturaE is not directly exported by Invotify; for FacturaE-specific submission, a dedicated service provider or integration is recommended.
No. Verifactu is a separate anti-fraud invoicing-software certification regime that requires billing software to send transaction records to the AEAT (Spanish tax authority) in real time. It is not the same as the Crea y Crece B2B e-invoicing mandate. Verifactu applies to domestic invoice issuance for software certification purposes; the B2B e-invoicing mandate under Royal Decree 238/2026 governs the structured exchange of invoices between businesses. Both regimes may apply simultaneously.
As of June 2026: all businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices from October 2026. Companies with annual revenue above €8 million must send structured e-invoices from approximately October 2027. All other businesses must send from approximately October 2028. Exact thresholds and deadlines are subject to final implementing regulations — confirm with the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT).
