How to prepare for e-invoicing
As of July 1, 2025, electronic invoicing will be mandatory in Spain for all companies and self-employed workers.This new regulation is part of a government strategy to digitalize the economy and reduce tax fraud. Although the deadline seems far off, the reality is that many companies have not yet begun to prepare for this change. The lack of time may become a critical problem if immediate action is not taken.
What is e-invoicing and why is it mandatory?
E-invoicing consists of issuing, sending and receiving invoices in digital format through approved systems. Unlike traditional paper or PDF invoices, electronic invoices must comply with certain legal and technical requirements to guarantee their fiscal validity and security.
The Spanish government has established that this obligation will allow greater transparency and more efficient control of commercial transactions. But for companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), implementation can be a challenge if they do not have adequate resources.
Why is it urgent to get ready now?
Although the target date is July 2025, the learning curve for implementing an electronic invoicing system can be considerable. Companies need time to:
- Adopt appropriate software that complies with regulations.
- Train your staff in the use of new digital tools.
- Perform tests and adjustments before the obligation becomes effective.
Delaying this transition can lead to operational errors, financial losses and risks of non-compliance that could result in penalties.
