Verifactu 2027: The New Deadline for Spanish SMEs

The New Horizon: January & July 2027

Following the recent decree (Real Decreto-ley 15/2025), the Spanish government has provided extra time for SMEs to adapt to the Anti-Fraud Law.

Mandatory Deadlines:

• Jan 1, 2027: Corporate Tax payers (Companies).
• July 1, 2027: Individuals, Freelancers, and other entities.

The €50,000 Risk

The penalties for using software that allows "double accounting" or isn't certified remain severe. Fines can reach €50,000 per fiscal year. At MenuFlow, our 2026 pilots are already Verifactu-ready to ensure 100% peace of mind.

What the deadline means per sector varies. Restaurants have the tightest till-to-Hacienda path: see Verifactu for restaurants. Estate agencies invoice commission under the same rules while their lead flow moves to WhatsApp, which is a separate change worth planning in the same year.
