Compliance with the Verifactu Regulation: The Solution for Travel Agencies with a Front Office

The regulatory landscape in Spain continues to evolve toward greater digitization and transparency in the management of invoicing. With the publication of the Verifactu Regulation in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on October 28, 2024, the Ministry of Finance has established a new framework that will require the inclusion of QR codes on all invoices, sending the details of the transactions to the Tax Agency (AEAT) in real time. This change, which will be mandatory for businesses starting on July 1, 2025, aims to prevent tax fraud and modernize invoicing systems.

 

At Beroni, as the leading technology partner for travel agencies, we understand that these new regulations may raise concerns regarding our clients’ administrative and operational processes. For this reason, we have developed a comprehensive solution through Front Office, our management and billing tool, which will not only ensure regulatory compliance but also streamline and automate billing operations in a quick and easy way.

 

What does the Verifactu Regulation entail?

 

The Verifactu Regulation introduces a series of significant changes to business invoicing:

 

  • Incorporation of QR codes: Every invoice, whether digital or paper-based, must include a QR code that allows the AEAT to receive real-time information about the transaction.
  • Automation and standardization: Billing systems must ensure the integrity, traceability, and accessibility of data, as well as being compatible with the established technical requirements.
  • Deadlines for compliance: Businesses and self-employed individuals have until July 1, 2025 to implement these changes, while software developers must adapt their systems within 9 months of the regulation’s publication.

 

More official information is available at the Official State Gazette published on October 28, 2024 and on the Internal Revenue Service.
