Spain's Verifactu adds six fields and a QR to every invoice — autónomos comply from July 2027.
A baker in Murcia issues fifteen invoices a month from a paper book. By 1 July 2027 every one must carry a hash chained to the previous, an electronic signature, a timestamp, a QR the customer can scan against AEAT (Agencia Tributaria, Spain's tax agency), and the literal text "Verifactu". Pimec, the Catalan SME federation, asked its members what the upgrade would cost. One in four said between €1,000 and €6,000.
01The pain
Fifteen invoices a month. A baker in Murcia issues them from a paper book. By 1 July 2027, every one must carry a digital fingerprint chained to the previous, an electronic signature, a timestamp, a QR the customer can scan against AEAT (Agencia Tributaria, Spain's tax agency), and the literal text "Verifactu". Royal Decree 1007/2023 turned an invoice into a regulated software act.3
Three postponements bought the trade federations time. The deadline slipped from July 2025 to January 2026 to July 2026, then to 1 January 2027 for incorporated companies and 1 July 2027 for sole traders. ATA (the national sole-traders' association) and Pimec (the Catalan SME federation) pushed Hacienda (Spain's tax ministry) for more room. Pimec then surveyed its members: one in four expected to spend €1,000 to €6,000 on software and equipment. The bakers', butchers' and fishmongers' federations asked for a two-year moratorium.1,2
AEAT publishes a free invoicing app. It breaks the moment a freelancer bills in foreign currency, issues a corrective invoice, or carries a real product catalogue. Two regimes now sit in the same inbox: Verifactu under RD 1007/2023, and the separate B2B electronic-invoicing mandate under Ley Crea y Crece (the 2022 "Create and Grow" SME law). Ask an adviser which applies and you get two products at two prices. Banqup España calls it the mess Hacienda created.4

02Who solves this today
Three Spanish vendors that name Verifactu on their own homepage as the operator promise. Each was verified live in the niche on the date of writing.
Listed providers publicly market to the Spanish Verifactu / SIF niche on their own homepages. Inclusion is not endorsement. Adjacent Spanish-market vendors were considered and excluded where their public homepage did not contain a verbatim Verifactu / SIF / RD-1007-2023 self-marketing phrase, or where the homepage was unreachable for verification at the date of writing — Sage España's es-es portal returned a 403 to our verifier and was therefore dropped per the Codabox / two-or-three-verified-beats-a-longer-list precedent. Anfix and Contasimple both name Verifactu in their self-marketing and may be considered in a future revision; the three above were chosen as the strongest first cohort on the strength of their front-page positioning. The official Agencia Tributaria portal (sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es) is cited above in section 01 as the source of the regulatory regime, not as a solution provider.
