VeriFactu 2027:
Definitive deadlines for freelancers
After the 2025 extensions there are two dates, and yours depends on which tax you pay: 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for everyone else. This guide covers what to do until then.

Preparation year
Nothing is required of you yet this year: the first deadline for users is January 2027. Software producers, on the other hand, have been bound since July 2025. Use the time to move across calmly.
Companies required
Anyone paying Corporate Tax must already invoice with a system that complies with the regulation. They are six months ahead of the self-employed, and company size does not change the date.
Freelancers required
Self-employed on direct estimation or modules: deadline to invoice with a compliant invoicing system.
B2B e-invoicing
Ley Crea y Crece will add mandatory invoice exchange between businesses, but its calendar depends on a pending ministerial order. There is no official date to quote.
Checklist before July 2027
- First of all, check whether it applies to you: anyone keeping VAT ledgers through the SII, or paying tax in the Basque Country or Navarre, falls outside the regulation. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are inside.
- Verify your software has the producer's responsible declaration: it is the only document there is, because the AEAT neither approves nor certifies programs.
- Test invoice issuance with QR and chained hash.
- Train your team (or accountant) on the new invoicing flow.
- Migrate clients and templates from Excel if you still use it.
Holding software without the producer's responsible declaration after your deadline is penalised with €50,000 for every financial year. The law sets that exact amount: it is not a ceiling.
