VeriFactu
Businesses and self-employed ask Spain's Finance Ministry to confirm the VeriFactu calendar now
Employers' group Cecot and self-employed association ATA call for certainty on VeriFactu and e-invoicing. What it means for your laundromat.
What happened
Catalan employers' association Cecot has sent a letter to Spain's Ministry of Finance asking it to confirm “urgently” the final VeriFactu calendar. As reported by Europa Press, it wants to avoid “a new situation of business uncertainty” like the one at the end of 2025, when the deadline was postponed a few weeks before taking effect.
The same day, the self-employed federation ATA called for aligning three calendars that currently run separately: VeriFactu, mandatory business-to-business e-invoicing and the EU's ViDA directive on VAT in the digital age. It calls forcing consecutive technology transitions an “operational nonsense”.
Today, the legal VeriFactu calendar is still the one set by Royal Decree-law 15/2025: 1 January 2027 for Corporate Income Tax payers and 1 July 2027 for everyone else.
What it means for your laundromat
Our reading: asking for certainty is not the same as asking for another postponement. Until a change is published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), the current dates are the ones that count, and planning around them is the prudent choice.
For a laundromat, changing the payment system means choosing a provider, installing and testing. Waiting to see whether there's another extension risks doing it all in a rush in December. If you want to start, review what VeriFactu requires from a laundromat.
