Spain operates a mixed framework that includes both fiscalized and non-fiscalized areas. Currently, the TicketBAI system is mandatory in the Basque Country, while the rest of Spain (mainland territory) is scheduled to implement the VeriFactu system starting in 2027

Type of fiscalization: non-fiscal country. Software fiscalization used in the Basque region.

At present, there are no mandatory hardware or software certification requirements in Spain. However, the Basque Country introduced the TicketBAI system in January 2022, marking the start of structured fiscal reporting at the regional level. From 2027, the VeriFactu system will be implemented across mainland Spain, introducing significant fiscalization obligations, including the mandatory use of specialized, certified software for issuing receipts and complying with predefined technical and reporting requirements
