E-invoicing for Companies and Freelancers

Frequently Asked Questions About E-Invoicing

• What is e-invoicing?

  E-invoicing is an invoice issued in a structured digital format (beyond a simple PDF) and digitally signed.
  
  This format ensures security, authenticity, and that information cannot be altered. Additionally, it allows for efficient and automated sending, receiving, and storing of invoices.
  
  B2Brouter generates e-invoices that are compliant with Spanish and European regulations, simplifying the process of meeting all these requirements.

• What are my legal obligations as a business?

  As a business, you must adhere to the following obligations:
  

  • E-invoicing mandatory in transactions with other businesses and professionals when the 'Crea y Crece' Law comes into effect.
  • E-invoicing mandatory with the Public Administration, which is already in place.
  • Use of certified software with VeriFactu to ensure your invoices are secure and meet technical requirements.

  
  You must also retain all e-invoices for at least 6 years.
  
  B2Brouter is prepared to generate compliant e-invoices and adapt to VeriFactu requirements, helping you meet legal mandates effortlessly.

• If self-employed, do I need to send e-invoices?

  Currently, you are only obligated to issue e-invoices when billing public entities.
  
  Later (2027/2028), the obligation will expand to include invoicing when dealing with businesses or freelancers.
  
  At that time, using certified software that meets technical standards will be necessary.
  
  B2Brouter makes electronic invoicing easy: fill in the details and the platform automatically generates the correct format, no technical skills required.

• Can I send international invoices?

  Yes, you can issue invoices to clients in other countries without any issues.
  
  The requirement to use e-invoicing only applies when you and your client are both in Spain. Outside Spain, it is not mandatory, but you may still send e-invoices if you choose.
  
  B2Brouter allows you to send e-invoices internationally and even supports European standards like Peppol, if your client requires it.

• What is VeriFactu and when will it be mandatory?

  VeriFactu is a platform approved by the Tax Agency (AEAT) for securely issuing, sending, and managing e-invoices.
  
  Currently, e-invoicing is mandatory only for invoicing the Public Administration. Starting from 2027/2028, it will also be required for transactions between businesses and freelancers.
  
  B2Brouter is adapted to the VeriFactu system, enabling you to comply with requirements from day one without needing a new tool.

• How can I send e-invoices to public administration as a freelancer or business?

  With B2Brouter, you simply complete the invoice, and the platform handles the rest:
  

  • Automatically converts it to the Facturae format.
  • Digitally signs it.
  • Directly sends it to FACe or other public portals without technical steps required from you.
