VeriFactu for expats in Spain: invoicing software that keeps you legal
Deadlines, fines up to €50,000, the "AEAT-certified" myth, the Stripe trap and the free plan we recommend.
We are SoftwareLegal360, an independent Spanish publication analysing invoicing, management and AI software for law firms, accountants and freelancers. Most of our content is in Spanish — this page is our English front door for the expat community.
Updated · October 2026Spain's new invoicing integrity system applies to every autónomo, whatever your nationality. Our English guide covers the real deadlines, the fines, how to spot genuinely compliant software — and how to comply for free.
The two questions every freelancer in Spain asks: what will Social Security take from me, and what's left after all taxes. Answered in seconds, in plain English.
They don't overlap: one keeps your invoicing legal in Spain, the other handles VAT when you bill clients abroad.
Start at €0 — no card required — with VeriFactu-compliant invoicing built in, plus quotes, clients and a mobile app. Over 50,000 active users and a 4.9/5 average rating. Paid plans scale as you grow.
Billing clients outside Spain? It calculates the correct VAT per country, validates VAT numbers in VIES and generates OSS-ready reports. Spanish company, English-friendly interface.
If your Spanish is up to it — or your browser translates — these are our most useful pages for freelancers:
Our full comparison of compliant invoicing software: price, ease of use and support.
The official 2027 calendar and the sanction regime, explained without jargon.
How to comply without paying a cent: free plans and the AEAT's own invoicing app.
