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

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
