What is Verifactu and who does it apply to?

Verifactu is the verifiable-invoicing system set out in Spain’s invoicing-systems regulation (RD 1007/2023). Businesses and self-employed people who invoice with software must use a system that guarantees the integrity and traceability of every record and, in Veri*Factu mode, sends it to the AEAT. Under RD-ley 15/2025 it becomes mandatory on 1 January 2027 for companies and on 1 July 2027 for everyone else.

Is Scennio Verifactu-compliant?

Yes. Scennio’s POS is Verifactu-compliant out of the box and we back it with our responsibility declaration, which is what the regulation requires: the AEAT does not approve or certify invoicing software. It issues signed invoices with QR, chains them and sends them to the AEAT in real time, with no external modules or extra fees.

Do I have to switch POS or can I add a module to my current system?

Both options exist. Adding a module to a legacy POS usually doubles maintenance and support. Migrating to Scennio covers Verifactu, EU electronic invoicing, shift logging and CRM in a single app — typically cheaper over 12 months.

How does the digital QR receipt work for the customer?

The customer receives a digital receipt with an AEAT verification QR via email, or scans it at the table. They can verify their invoice against the tax authority. You cut paper consumption and leave full legal traceability.

Does it include mandatory digital shift logging?

Yes. The HR module includes digital clock-in, schedules, breaks and immediate export for labour inspections. Compliant with mandatory time-tracking in Spain and equivalent EU rules.

How long does deployment take in an existing venue?

Full deployment in 48 hours. We migrate catalogue, terminals and tax configuration without disrupting operations. We train the team and leave the first receipts being issued with QR before the next opening.

Verifactu quick guide

What Verifactu is, who it applies to and from when

Updated October 2026

What it is

Verifactu is the system required by Spain’s invoicing-systems regulation (RD 1007/2023): every invoice is recorded in full, chained and tamper-proof, with a QR code the customer can check. In Veri*Factu mode, each record is sent to the AEAT automatically.

Who it applies to

Businesses and self-employed people who invoice with software, including hospitality, nightclubs and nightlife. Excluded are those already keeping their books in the SII and those taxed in the Basque Country or Navarre, which have their own systems.

Timeline

29 Jul 2025 · Invoicing software vendors must already comply with the regulation.
1 Jan 2027 · Mandatory for Corporate Income Tax payers.
1 Jul 2027 · Mandatory for everyone else: self-employed people under IRPF and other obligated parties.

Is there certified software?

No. The AEAT does not approve or certify invoicing software: each vendor signs a responsibility declaration guaranteeing that its system meets the regulation. Ask your vendor for it.

What happens if your POS isn’t adapted

Verifactu arrives in 2027, and patches are expensive.

The deadline has been pushed back twice, but the regulation is in force and software vendors must already comply. These are the risks we see in venues that haven’t migrated yet.

POS not adapted to Verifactu

Many long-standing hospitality POS systems don’t meet Verifactu’s integrity, traceability and signature requirements. Always ask your vendor for its responsibility declaration.

External modules bolted onto your current POS

Paying for a Verifactu module on top of your POS produces two systems that go out of sync, duplicate invoices and split support across two providers.

Paper receipts and manual logging

You keep printing physical receipts without QR, digital signature or auto-submission to the tax authority. Every inspection is a real risk for the venue.

No digital shift logging

EU rules also require digital staff shift logging. Excel-based or physical clock-in systems are not valid in a labour inspection.

Scennio brings Verifactu, electronic invoicing, shift logging and POS into one app — no third-party modules, no extra fees.

Typical scenario

Verifactu-ready in 48 hours.

“We had a hospitality POS that had been working for years. When the noise around Verifactu started, we considered bolting on an external module. We ended up moving to Scennio directly: in two days we were issuing QR invoices and submitting to the tax authority without touching anything.”
