Verifactu is a Spanish legal requirement designed to prevent tax fraud: every invoice you issue must be reported in real time to the Spanish tax authority (AEAT). Amenitiz handles the technical side via our certified partner Invopop — but you should know what's coming and check whether your property is concerned.
Key dates
The Spanish government has delayed the mandatory date. Verifactu now becomes mandatory:
1 January 2027 — for Corporate Income Tax payers (typically companies).
1 July 2027 — for all other taxpayers (including most self-employed professionals).
💡 You don't need to wait until 2027. Amenitiz is already Verifactu-ready. Activate now and you're covered before the deadline.
Who is affected — and who is exempt
Affected: all Spanish businesses that issue invoices under AEAT rules — mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.
Exempt (these regions have their own tax authority and a separate system, TicketBAI):
Basque Country — provinces of Vizcaya (Bizkaia), Guipúzcoa (Gipuzkoa) and Álava (Araba)
Navarra
Ceuta
Melilla
If your hotel is registered in one of these regions, Verifactu does not apply to you — you fall under TicketBAI rules instead.
⚠️ Important
In the Canary Islands, Verifactu applies and your invoices carry IGIC instead of IVA. Verifactu is what makes IGIC invoicing work in Amenitiz: while it is inactive, Spanish invoices are issued with IVA. Activate Verifactu, then set your invoicing company's Tax Regime to Canary Islands.
How Amenitiz handles it
Amenitiz uses Invopop, a Spanish government-certified Verifactu provider:
Real-time reporting — each invoice you issue from Amenitiz is automatically transmitted to the AEAT.
No manual uploads — no files to export, no portals to log into.
No complex setup on your side once activated.
Invopop already powers our e-invoicing in Portugal and Italy, so it's a battle-tested integration.
What you need to do now
Confirm your property is in a Verifactu region (i.e. not Basque Country, Navarra, Ceuta or Melilla).
Make sure your company details in Amenitiz are accurate (legal name, tax ID, address) — they are sent with every invoice.
Contact our support team with your hotel name to activate Verifactu on your account. We'll switch on the integration and confirm everything is reporting correctly.
Canary Islands only. Once Verifactu is active, set your invoicing company's
Tax RegimetoCanary Islandsso your invoices are issued with IGIC.
Important rules
Verifactu is a legal obligation. Failure to comply may result in penalties from the AEAT.
No opt-out. If you're in a Verifactu region, you must report.
Only certified providers can submit. Invopop is on the AEAT's list of certified Verifactu providers.
IGIC needs Verifactu. In the Canary Islands, IGIC invoices can only be issued once Verifactu is active on your account.
Activation is done by Amenitiz support, not from your dashboard.
FAQs
I'm in the Canary Islands — does Verifactu apply to me?
I'm in the Canary Islands — does Verifactu apply to me?
Yes. IGIC replaces IVA in the Canary Islands, but your invoices are still filed with the AEAT, so Verifactu applies. It is also what enables IGIC invoicing in Amenitiz: while Verifactu is inactive, Spanish invoices are issued with IVA. Contact our support team to activate it, then set your invoicing company's Tax Regime to Canary Islands.

No. Verifactu is a legal obligation if you operate in a Verifactu region. Properties in the Basque Country, Navarra, Ceuta or Melilla follow TicketBAI rules instead.

Verifactu doesn't apply to you. Your region uses the TicketBAI system. Make sure the Province on your invoicing company details is correct so the right flow is applied.
