Odoo electronic invoicing in Spain¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Spain’s regulatory standards.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Spain¶
In Spain, e-invoicing is governed by the Ley de Facturación Electrónica and aligned with EU Directive 2014/55/EU, mandating e-invoicing for B2G transactions. All invoices to public sector entities must be submitted through the FACe platform, Spain’s official electronic invoicing hub, using the required Facturae format. Additionally, the SII system mandates near real-time reporting of VAT-related invoice data for certain companies, reinforcing transparency and compliance. While e-invoicing is not yet mandatory for B2B transactions, its adoption is expected to expand in the near future.
Compliance with Spanish e-invoicing regulations¶
Odoo Invoicing is fully equipped to help businesses meet Spain’s e-invoicing and VAT reporting requirements. Here is how Odoo ensures compliance:
