Penalties for Verifactu non-compliance: fines of up to 50,000 euros

The Anti-Fraud Law establishes severe penalties for those who do not comply with Verifactu. Fines can reach 50,000 euros per fiscal year.

Legal framework for penalties

The penalty regime is established in article 201 bis of the General Tax Law (Law 58/2003), introduced by the Anti-Fraud Law. Penalties come into effect when Verifactu becomes mandatory for each type of taxpayer.

Penalties for software users

Fine for non-compliant software: 50,000 euros

If your business uses or has installed software that does not meet the requirements of RD 1007/2023, the penalty is 50,000 euros per fiscal year. It applies simply for having the software, regardless of whether you have manipulated data.

Penalties for invoices without a QR code

The absence of the QR code or mandatory legend constitutes a breach of invoicing obligations (Article 201 LGT), punishable with a percentage of the incorrectly invoiced amount, with a minimum of 300 euros.

Penalties for software manufacturers

Manufacturers and distributors face penalties of 150,000 euros per fiscal year for producing or selling software that does not meet the requirements.

Indirect consequences of non-compliance

Fiscally invalid invoices

Invoices issued with non-approved software may not count as deductible expenses or allow VAT input deduction.

Loss of business customers

Your business customers need compliant invoices for their deductions. If your invoices do not comply, they may switch providers.

Higher likelihood of tax audit

Businesses that do not submit records will stand out as anomalies to the AEAT and may attract tax inspections.

How to avoid penalties

The way to avoid them is simple: use Verifactu-compliant software before the mandatory date.

  • Verify that your current software complies with Verifactu
  • Switch software if yours does not comply
  • Configure your tax details correctly (NIF, legal name)
  • Start using the system before the mandatory deadline
