The independent in Spain will certainly not need to send their billings digitally neither use the brand-new individual voluntary agreement sales tax obligation exception from following year as the Spanish federal government had actually initially planned. This information was validated in a news release by UPTA, the specialist profession organization for the independent in Spain.

Digital invoicing will just be postponed, not terminated entirely. The hold-up will certainly be up until a minimum of 2027 as the pastoral order and the law to develop the Ley Crea y Crece (‘ produce and expand’ legislation) are still pending handling. This is the legislation that will certainly demand compulsory digital invoicing for business and the independent alike. The day of access right into pressure of the individual voluntary agreement exception, called ‘individual voluntary agreement franquiciado’, is not yet understood, yet it will certainly not be following year.

UPTA mentioned in a news release that there has actually been no progression in developing a clear schedule for making digital invoicing compulsory for business and the independent, neither in the IT devices suitable with the technological requirements called for by the Spanish tax obligation authority for the growth of software program to handle everything.

The last conference of the main government-led functioning team on tax – a team comprised of treasury agents, appropriate service and social companions and various other independent organisations – was held months back without there having actually been “any type of progression”. At the very least absolutely nothing has actually been connected jointly to this functioning team, be that on the IT required to make it all function perfectly or on developing a clear schedule to present mandatory digital invoicing for business and the independent, according to UPTA.

UPTA thinks about that the present scenario is creating complication amongst its participants as there is still a prevalent idea that this digital invoicing commitment will certainly enter pressure on 1 January 2025. Nevertheless, it is the ‘Crea y Crece’ legislation, authorized in September 2022, that specifies the commitment to digitally invoice for deals in between companies and specialists. This commitment enters pressure within the adhering to target dates: for business with a yearly turn over of over 8 million euros, they should follow e-invoicing one year after the authorization of the law while the remainder will certainly have a duration of 2 years.

” We can neither frighten neither puzzle over 3.38 million independent individuals in our nation. The modifications in an issue as delicate as tax should be sent with outright openness and quality, without there being the tiniest uncertainty regarding exactly how the independent needs to satisfy their commitments to the tax obligation authorities, given that the repercussions of a misconception or absence of info constantly trigger financial and governmental damage to those that are mainly independent proprietors of small companies,” stated Eduardo Abad, UPTA head of state.
