What happened
The Spanish government postponed the entry into force of Verifactu, an electronic invoicing system designed to strengthen tax control, from 2026 to 2028. Under the new schedule, companies subject to Corporation Tax must adapt starting in 2028, while self-employed workers and small and medium-sized enterprises have until July 1, 2028, to comply. The system requires invoices to be issued using certified software to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Why it matters
The delay provides small businesses more time to adapt their IT programs and internal processes, reducing immediate pressure. However, the postponement has also led to confusion within the sector due to a lack of clarity regarding technical requirements and final deadlines.
Spain's economic well-being is currently being compared against the EU average and the situation in Greece using Steve Hanke's index.
