Spain is undergoing three simultaneous regulatory changes in invoicing that affect every business and freelancer. The problem is that many confuse them, mix them up or treat them as one. They are not. The SIF (Invoicing Computer System), VeriFactu and B2B e-invoicing are three distinct concepts, born from three different regulations, with three different objectives and three different timelines. This guide explains each one clearly, with their real deadlines and key differences.

With the RRSIF (Regulation on Requirements for Invoicing Information Systems) coming into force in 2027, every invoicing program used in Spain must meet a list of technical requirements that go far beyond what most freelancers and SMEs are used to. It is no longer enough for an invoice to have the issuer's details, the concept and the amount: the system that generates it must now guarantee the integrity, traceability and immutability of every record, and the invoice itself must include new elements such as the tax QR code. This article collects all requirements in a checklist format so you can verify whether your current software complies — or know exactly what to ask your provider.

With the obligation to adapt invoicing systems to RD 1007/2023 just around the corner (1 January 2027 for corporations, 1 July 2027 for freelancers), choosing the right software is no longer just a question of price or features: it is a decision that will shape how you interact with the Spanish Tax Agency for years to come. And one of the key questions is: does the program I am evaluating support only VeriFactu, only No-VeriFactu, or both modes?
