VeriFactu is a new system launched by the Spanish Tax Agency, Agencia Tributaria, to fight tax fraud and promote digitalisation and automation in business taxation.
If you use any software to issue invoices, this new regulation directly impacts you.
Let's break it down simply and show how Quipu is already helping you stay compliant.
Quipu software is made available to all our clients included in their subscription.
Who is affected by VeriFactu?
VeriFactu will apply to taxpayers with economic activity, whether they pay taxes under IRPF, personal income tax, or Impuesto sobre Sociedades, corporate tax.
If you run a business or are self-employed and use software for invoicing, this concerns you.
When does VeriFactu come into force?
According to Royal Decree 254/2025, these are the key dates after the delayed timetable:
- 1 January 2027: mandatory for companies under Corporate Tax.
- 1 July 2027: mandatory for all other businesses and self-employed professionals.
What is changing in Quipu?
Quipu is VeriFactu compliant, and every invoice, whether standard, simplified or corrective, starts in draft mode.
Only when you mark the invoice as final will it:
- be assigned a number and issue date,
- be locked for edits, except for payment and category details, and
- be included in reports and tax returns.
What this means for you
- Your invoices are error-free and compliant from the start.
- You are already working under VeriFactu standards, well before the 2027 deadline.
- You can safely review, edit or delete a draft invoice before finalising it.
Two invoice stages in Quipu
The new workflow is easier to understand if you think of each invoice as moving through two stages.
Draft stage
- No number or date yet.
- Fully editable or deletable.
- PDF preview available, without final data.
- Not counted for reports, taxes or accounting.
Final stage
- Quipu assigns number and date automatically.
- Critical fields are locked.
- Only payment and category fields remain editable.
- Included in your tax reports and accounting.
Once an invoice is final, any corrections must be made through a corrective invoice.
You can move an invoice from draft to final at any time.
Why start now?
Although VeriFactu will not be mandatory until 2027, getting used to this new workflow now will make the transition smoother and less stressful.
By adapting early, you gain:
- confidence in the new invoicing process,
- peace of mind knowing you are compliant, and
- more control over your billing and reporting.
Let's get ahead together. With Quipu, you are already on the right track.
