Spain is making B2B e-invoicing mandatory under the Crea y Crece Law (Ley 18/2022). On 24 March 2026 the Council of Ministers approved the Royal Decree (RD 238/2026) setting the legal framework. The Ministerial Order defining the public platform is expected to enter into force around 1 October 2026, which starts the compliance countdown.
Rollout is phased by size. Large companies (turnover above €8M) are expected to go live around October 2027, and all other businesses and sole traders around October 2028. Invoices must be structured (EN 16931-aligned) and exchanged via private platforms or AEAT's public solution, with recipients reporting status - acceptance, rejection, payment - within 4 days.
In parallel, Veri*Factu certified-software rules apply from 1 January 2027 (companies) and 1 July 2027 (self-employed). Dates depend on the pending Ministerial Order - confirm against the BOE.

Trusted by 5,000+ enterprises across 50+ countries, ClearTax brings proven global e-invoicing experience to Spain's Crea y Crece and Veri*Factu regimes - issuing EN 16931-compliant structured invoices, routing through the AEAT public solution or private platforms, reporting invoice status within the 4-day window, and flagging errors before they become compliance issues.
Spain's mandate is split across four distinct compliance tracks. ClearTax covers all of them. Verifactu billing system certification, Crea y Crece structured B2B invoicing via AEAT's platform, FacturaE for B2G via FACe, and TicketBAI for Basque Country and Navarre entities. One integration. Every obligation met.
Pre-built connectors for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Sage, and 60+ other systems. ClearTax's AI-powered field mapping adapts to your data structure, reducing integration time by up to 60%. No rip-and-replace, no disruption to your existing AP/AR workflows.
The Crea y Crece Ministerial Order isn't final yet. Verifactu deadlines have already shifted once. ClearTax monitors AEAT regulatory changes and updates its compliance engine as soon as new technical specifications are published, no emergency development sprints, no scrambling before a deadline.
Every invoice status, live, before it becomes an audit problem. Under Crea y Crece, invoice recipients must report acceptance, rejection, or payment within 4 days. ClearTax tracks every invoice through its full lifecycle and surfaces discrepancies before they trigger AEAT scrutiny.
Non-certified billing software can cost up to €50,000 per fiscal year. Failing to issue or accept structured B2B invoices under Crea y Crece can trigger fines up to €10,000 per infraction. ClearTax keeps you on the right side of both, with AEAT-aligned certification, automated transmission, and a full audit trail.
Spain's e-invoicing rules are complicated by design, two parallel national regimes, two regional regimes, SII exemptions, and pending technical regulations. ClearTax's compliance team tracks every development to offer local support.
Filing on time is the floor; knowing your VAT position is accurate is the ceiling. Spain's SII regime already requires large taxpayers to report ledgers to AEAT within 4 days - creating discrepancy risk between what you report and what counterparties report, gaps AEAT cross-references automatically. VAT Assurance closes that gap before AEAT finds it.
ClearTax's VAT Assurance Recon AI Agent automatically cross-matches your reported invoices against counterparty data, SII submissions, and purchase ledger entries, flagging mismatches before they become audit triggers.
When a gap is identified, ClearTax surfaces the specific invoice, the likely cause, and the correction path. Your team resolves in minutes, not weeks of forensic VAT review.
Every invoice, every status update, every AEAT transmission log, retained in structured, retrievable format for the mandated period. When AEAT asks, you answer immediately.
VAT Assurance runs continuously, not just at quarter-end. Ongoing discrepancy detection means you catch problems when they're small, not when they've compounded across a reporting period.
