The Veri*factu Ministerial Order reaches the European Commission
📣 Update: Verifactu's Ministerial Order was published on October 28, 2024, starting the 9-month countdown for mandatory software adaptation. Read the updated news.
Key points of the Veri*factu Ministerial Order
After undergoing the hearing process in January, the new version of the Ministerial Order has been made public. The update incorporates over 60 observations aimed at simplifying the application of Veri*Factu for software developers and vendors, as well as for companies and professionals.
Review by the European Commission
Currently, this new version is under review by the European Commission, which has until October 4th to respond. Despite the inclusion of new observations, no significant changes in its content are expected.
What does this imply? Once the Order is approved, the next step will be its publication in the Official State Gazette, initiating the compulsory compliance periods of the regulation for software developers, and taxpayers.
Veri*factu dates for software developers
Although some delays in deadlines can be expected, the official documentation pending approval by the European Commission maintains the deadlines and compliance dates. The first to adapt to the regulation will need to be the software development entities, which will have 9 months from the publication in the Official State Gazette to adapt their billing information systems to the Veri*factu regulation.
In this regard, it is advisable to start planning its implementation in advance and evaluate the available compliance options. At fiskaly, we offer the SIGN ES API, which allows for a simple integration to comply not only with Veri*factu but also with TicketBAI, the mandatory B2B electronic invoicing according to the Create and Grow Law, and the upcoming fiscal legislation from Navarra expected in 2026.
Veri*factu timetable for taxpayers
The deadline for all companies and professionals operating in Spanish territory to comply with the regulations is still set for July 1st 2025 in this version. In this case, Veri*factu will not affect companies with a tax residence in the Basque Country and Navarra, nor those already subject to the Immediate Supply of Information (SII) control.
With these dates in mind, it is crucial for software developers and taxpayers to start considering the adaptation of their systems to the technical requirements of the Veri*factu and No-Veri*factu systems.
SIGN ES, the Veri*factu API that helps you comply with the regulations
Is it possible to comply with the Veri*factu regulation without changing software?
The Anti-Fraud Law and the Veri*factu systems aim to improve tax compliance and combat fraud through a digitised process. This means that taxpayers must implement changes to their billing systems to comply with the regulations. But is it mandatory to change software? Not necessarily.
Adapting your billing software with a solution like SIGN ES allows any ERP, POS, or invoicing software to meet the legal requirements with a single API integration.
SIGN ES: the benefits of a single integration
The Veri*factu API integration simplifies compliance with regulations and maintenance of systems according to Tax Agency requirements. By integrating SIGN ES, you will not only meet the requirements of the Anti-Fraud Law and Veri*factu in a single integration but also ensure that your invoicing software complies with TicketBAI, the upcoming requirements of the Create and Grow Law regarding mandatory B2B electronic invoicing, and the forthcoming tax regulations from the Navarra Tax Authority, expected in 2026.
This not only reduces costs but also enhances operational efficiency, allowing companies to focus on their core activities without technical distractions.
