Mandatory Digital Invoice for SMEs and the Self-Employed: A goal for 2027

The Tax Agency has decided to postpone until January 2026 the obligation that all companies with annual income less than 6 million euros automatically send your billing data to the treasury. Este retraso sugiere que la obligación de emitir facturas electrónicas para pymes y autónomos podría posponerse hasta 2027 o incluso más allá, dependiendo de la aprobación del reglamento necesario para su implementación.

Esta transición a la facturación digital fue propuesta originalmente en la Ley Crea y Crece de 2022, con el objetivo de eliminar gradualmente la facturación en papel. El propósito es crear un sistema digital que facilite la transparencia y permita un mayor control sobre los pagos entre empresas y proveedores, reduciendo así la morosidad y mejorando el flujo de caja de las pequeñas y medianas empresas. However, el proyecto ha encontrado obstáculos y aún necesita un Real Decreto que defina el reglamento para que la obligación pueda entrar en vigor.

Es importante destacar que esta medida es distinta de la establecida en la Ley Antifraude de 2021. La Ley Antifraude, que se implementará en 2026, exige a las empresas con ingresos inferiores a 6 millones de euros enviar datos esenciales de sus facturas, como el emisor, la fecha y el importe, de forma inmediata al fisco, aunque no obliga a que la factura se emita digitalmente.

Para apoyar la adopción de la facturación electrónica y reducir los costos de implementación para pymes y autónomos, la Agencia Tributaria anunció en 2023 el desarrollo de una aplicación gratuita, especialmente pensada para los pequeños negocios. Recientemente, el PSOE incluyó una enmienda en la Ley del Impuesto Mínimo del 15% de Sociedades, con el fin de fortalecer esta herramienta pública y permitir su uso por empresas de cualquier tamaño o facturación.

Con estos cambios, el gobierno busca no solo fortalecer el control tributario, sino también facilitar la transición digital para el sector empresarial, ofreciendo opciones tanto públicas como privadas. Las empresas que opten por usar sistemas privados de facturación electrónica deberán remitir a Hacienda unacopia fielde cada factura y su comprobante de pago, asegurando así la transparencia y el cumplimiento fiscal.

Changes in VAT rates from 1 October 2024

Important Attention!
If you work with food products that currently have VAT 0%, It is essential that you make the necessary adjustments before 1 October. From that date, certain products will have new VAT rates, so you need to make sure your systems are up to date.

  • Products such as eggs, leche, inter alia, will have a VAT of 2%.

The new VAT rates must be added to the system with the corresponding percentage. Under no circumstances should the VAT rates already existing in the system be modified or altered.. Be sure to create the new VAT values ​​without modifying the previous ones to maintain the integrity of historical records and comply with tax regulations.

The past 27 June, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published the transitional changes in the VAT rates applicable to certain essential products. These changes, which began to be applied in two phases, respond to the need to mitigate the impact of inflation on food, favoring a gradual economic recovery. Next, We explain the details of each phase and how they will affect key products:

Second phase (1 October – 31 December 2024):

From the 1 October 2024, new tax rates will come into force:

  • 2% VAT / R.equiv 0,26% for basic foods such as bread, breadmaking flours, leche, cheeses, eggs, fruits, vegetables, legumes, tubers, cereals. ​(BOE.es)​(The Moncloa).
  • 7,5% VAT / R.equiv 1% for seed oils and pastas, that until September were taxed at 5%(BOE.es)

VAT on olive oil from 2025:

From the 1 of January of 2025, olive oil will be taxed with a 4% VAT permanently, being considered an essential product in the Mediterranean diet(The Moncloa).

Equivalence surcharge:

further, The equivalence surcharge will also be adjusted based on these new VAT rates:

  • For products that go to 7,5%, the surcharge will rise to 1%.
  • For products that go to 2%, the surcharge will rise to 0.26%​ (BOE.es)​.

Impact for companies:

It is essential that companies review and update their billing systems to reflect these changes before implementation., avoiding possible errors in your daily operations. You can consult more details in the BOE or in the Tax Agency to ensure the correct application of these new tax rates.

These adjustments respond to the need to balance the tax burden on essential products, helping to mitigate the impact of inflation, especially in vulnerable sectors

Email Spoofing Fraud: How to Protect Yourself from Bank Account Number Changes on Issued Invoices

Dear Customer,

We want to alert you about a growing cybersecurity threat that is affecting many companies and individuals.. Numerous cases of identity theft in emails have been reported, where attackers have managed to access email accounts and modify the bank account number on sent invoices. As a consequence, payments that should have been directed to legitimate accounts have been redirected to accounts controlled by cybercriminals, generating significant economic losses.

This type of fraud, known as Man in the Middle (MitM), allows attackers to intercept communications and make changes to invoices without the sender or receiver noticing until it is too late. Cybercriminals are able to intercept the message, change the bank account information that appears in the email or even in the attached documents, as invoices in PDF format, in order for you or your clients to transfer to a different account number, controlled by attackers. Many times, The victim is not aware of this fraud until the legitimate provider demands payment, moment in which, by comparing the account numbers in the mail and the transfer made, It is discovered that they have been modified. Once the fraud has been carried out, criminals transfer the money to other accounts abroad, which makes recovery extremely difficult.

It is essential that preventive measures be taken to protect yourself from these types of attacks, since losses can be significant and difficult to recover.

To protect against these types of attacks, We recommend the following measures:

  1. Password security: Use strong passwords and change them regularly.
  2. Two-factor authentication (2FA): Be sure to enable this option on your email account to add an extra layer of security.
  3. Payment verification: Before making a bank transfer, Contact the supplier to confirm payment details, especially if you notice any changes in banking details.
  4. Invoice review: Be aware of any changes to invoices sent or received. If you detect any irregularity, notify us immediately.

At Factura One we are committed to the security of your information and we are available to help you implement these measures.. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like additional assistance..

Sincerely,
The Invoice One team

And the 1 July 2025, obligatory, All billing software must work in accordance with the new regulations.

This ends the possibility of making invoices written on paper or using Word or Excel..

They will only be legal, in Spain, invoices issued through computer systems adapted to the new regulations.

The regulations of the Tax Agency allow 2 modalities:

– No, actually
In this mode you have to format the invoice, sign it with a digital certificate, keep it for several years, make backups and make sure it cannot be altered (nor delete, nor alter).

And you have to create an event registration system (that you can request from the Treasury at any time).

In this event log, all accesses and changes that have occurred in the invoice system must be noted..
And you must have a system like Veri*Factu to send invoices when requested by the Treasury..
This entire process to guarantee traceability, integrity, immutability, conservation, accessibility and legibility of invoices is very difficult to meet.
And non-compliance implies strong sanctions..

– To be true
In this mode, it is enough to format each invoice, chain it using a hash and send it when it is issued.
You are also required to print invoices including a QR code that will be generated through a certain process..
And with it, since all invoices are held by the Treasury, the rest of the obligations are considered fulfilled.
Therefore there is no danger of sanctions.
It is the modality recommended by the Treasury.

Treasury approves billing program requirements

The Government gives the green light to the requirements for billing software, in order to prevent fraudulent practices.

These measures, contained in a royal decree, establish minimum standards that billing software must meet and standardize record formats, with the purpose of combating tax fraud in commercial transactions. The regulations expressly prohibit the use of 'sales suppression software'.’ or 'dual-use software', which makes it possible to maintain double accounting to hide part of the sales, as explained by the Ministry of Finance in a statement.

https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2023/12/06/pdfs/BOE-A-2023-24840.pdf
