The Spanish government has postponed until 2027 (source in Spanish) , and later to 2028, the entry into force of Verifactu, the electronic invoicing system designed to strengthen tax control over companies and self-employed workers . The move pushes back by one year the original timetable, which had set its implementation for 2026 (source in Spanish) . Under the new calendar, companies subject to Corporation Tax will have to adapt from 2028, while the self-employed and SMEs will have until 1 July of that same year.
