(the bill is expected to enter into force by 24 January 2024).

Some of the new requirements for informatics and invoicing systems:
- Informatic invoice systems and software must guarantee the protection of the invoice data registered, as well as its integrity, conservation, accessibility, and non-alteration.
- Data protection of the invoice register, avoiding any modification of the information after the invoice is issued;
- Functionality system that allows the traceability of the data registered on the system, allowing the administration to have immediate access and extracting data registered;
- Informatic systems must allow the automatic and instant reporting of all invoice registers to the tax authorities.
Also, it is important to note that this new regulation will impact the general invoicing requirements in Spain:
- it will be required to use a specific sequential invoice number for those invoices issued under the new technical requirements;
- invoices must contain an identification code and the QR code as required from the new systems, and wording indicating “dfactura verificable en la see electrónica de la AEAT”, for those invoices issued under the new technical requirements.
Currently, e-invoicing in Spain is only mandatory in the area of B2G relations. Also, e-invoicing is voluntary on the invoices issued and received in the B2B area, but its use must be accepted by the customer recipient.
