Government compliance - Spain
E-invoicing
Spain’s e-invoicing mandate is set to take effect in 2024 for very large businesses and in 2025 for smaller businesses. This regulation affects every company in Spain, regardless of where they are located. Mandatory only for B2B transactions. The implementation process has two steps:
- Mandatory from 2024 for companies with a turnover higher than 8 million a year.
- Mandatory from 2025 for companies with a turnover lower than 8 million a year.
Cloudbeds plans to implement a solution for this in 2024.

Upcoming Mandates
VeriFactu is a system for certifying invoices and sending information to the tax authorities that will be implemented nationwide and is not yet active.
For the time being, it will not be mandatory to have a VeriFactu system or to issue verifiable invoices. However, as of July 1, 2025, it will be mandatory to use invoicing software that complies with the above requirements and that allows invoices to be sent to the tax authorities.

A nightly police report is required by various police departments in Spain for all guests staying at hospitality businesses in Spain, namely by the Guarda Civil or Policia Nacional or Mossos d’esquadra or Ertzaintza portal.
