This webinar breaks down what Spain’s mandate requires, when different businesses come into scope, and how Tax, Finance, and IT teams must prepare together to avoid rushed implementations and fragmented fixes.
What You’ll Learn
What Spain’s new mandate requires and how the phased rollout applies to large enterprises and the broader market, including what triggers the compliance deadlines and why the compliance window is shorter than it looks
How invoice-level status and payment reporting obligations work in practice—businesses must report invoice acceptance and actual payment date, with direct implications for AR/AP controls, cashflow visibility, and compliance processes for Tax and Finance
Why ERP and systems integration are now compliance-critical for IT—structured invoice exchange goes far beyond basic invoice output
How to prepare for Spain in a way that also supports future ViDA-aligned mandates across the EU, and avoid point fixes that create rework when the next mandate lands
What Spain's mandate means for both senders and receivers — including interoperability requirements and access to the free public platform provided by the Spanish tax authority (AEAT)
Join us to understand how Spain’s mandate changes the compliance landscape—and how to prepare with a scalable, integrated approach that works for both today’s requirements and what’s coming next across Europe.

Spain’s Path to Mandatory E-Invoicing: Compliance, Systems, and Readiness
Spain has officially approved mandatory B2B e-invoicing under the Crea y Crece Law, setting a clear path toward structured invoices, invoice-level traceability, and interoperable exchange platforms. With technical specifications expected before July 2026 and phased compliance deadlines to follow, organizations operating in Spain—or trading with Spanish counterparts—need to start planning now. Large businesses will have one year to comply; all other businesses will have two years. PDF and paper invoices will no longer be valid.
France is the most immediate e-invoicing deadline facing European businesses. From September 2026, all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices, with large and intermediate enterprises also required to issue e-invoices from the same date.
