What is VeriFactu?
VeriFactu is the Invoice Verification system of the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT), which establishes:
- Immediate recording — The regulation requires each invoice to be reported to Hacienda in real time or near-real time
- Tax blockchain — Each invoice includes a hash chained to the previous one, preventing tampering
- Electronic signature — Mandatory digital certificate from the issuer
- Structured XML format — According to the AEAT technical specification
- Immutability — Once recorded, the invoice cannot be modified without leaving a trace
What BionicAdri has ready for VeriFactu
BionicAdri invoicing includes as standard the technical elements required by VeriFactu:
Hash Chain
Each invoice generates a SHA-256 fingerprint chained to the previous one, so that any alteration breaks the chain and becomes visible.
XML, QR and event log
Generation of the XML record, verification QR code on the invoice and event log. Tested with an accepted submission in the AEAT test environment; actual submission to the AEAT is not yet available.
Digital signature
Support for electronic certificates to sign invoices in accordance with the published technical specifications.
Tax Forms
Preparation of data for Modelo 303 (quarterly VAT), 390 (annual summary) and 347 (transactions with third parties).
