The new Spanish regulation on digital invoicing, known as VERI*FACTU, will directly affect all hotels, hostels and tourist accommodations as of January 1, 2026.
The Royal Decree 1007/2023published by the Ministry of Finance, establishes the technical requirements to be met by the Computerized Invoicing Systems (SIF) used by companies and self-employed workers in Spain.
In this article we explain what it means for your hotel, the key deadlines, the obligations you need to meet and how Roomdoo is already up and running with Veri*Factu fully automatically.
Roomdoo, the hotel vertical PMS based on Odoo ERP, we are already adapted to this regulation so that our customers can operate safely and smoothly. Roomdoo is built on Odoo, one of the most powerful and widely used management systems in the world. This allows us to natively integrate all tax requirements, including those of the VeriFactu system in an efficient way.
What is VERI*FACTU and why is it relevant for hotels?
VERI*FACTU is the name of the system for issuing and storing verifiable invoices, which requires that each invoice or ticket issued by a company is digitally recorded, stamped and traced, so that it cannot be manipulated or deleted.
Its objective is to guarantee the integrity, conservation, traceability and accessibility of the invoicing information before the Tax Agency (AEAT). VeriFactu requires invoicing software:
- Generate an unalterable and digitally signed billing record.
- Incorporate a QR code and a unique identifier on each invoice.
- Apply a hash to ensure that the information has not been modified.
- Offer the option to automatically send records.
The objective is to eliminate the use of dual-use or manipulable software, ensuring that every invoice is recorded with full traceability.
How does VERI*FACTU affect hotels?
If you issue invoices with a PMS, this regulation affects you directly. All companies and freelancers (except in the Basque Country and Navarra) that use invoicing software must adapt. In the case of the tourism sector, this implies any accommodation.
Mandates that all billing programs - such as your hotel's PMS - generate unalterable records of each invoice, including a QR code, a unique identifier and a system that allows, if activated, to automatically send that data to the IRS.
Verifactu wants to avoid fraud with manipulated invoices, control the traceability of revenues and digitalize the accounting process.
This means that it will no longer be sufficient to issue invoices as before: your software will have to prove that each invoice is authentic, unique and unchanged.
VERI*FACTU deadlines
| Date | What happens? Obligation |
|---|---|
| July 29, 2025 | Invoicing software (SIF) must be adapted to VeriFactu. |
| January 1, 2026 | Compliance obligation for legal entities (companies). |
| July 1, 2026 | Compliance obligation for the self-employed. |
What does it mean for a hotel PMS?
In a hotel, the PMS (Property Management System) is responsible for issuing invoices, either after check-out, for reservations, or for additional services. If the system is not adapted to VeriFactu:
- It is illegal to install or upgrade since July 2025.
- You expose the hotel to financial penalties.
Therefore, it is essential that the PMS includes a certified billing layer and maintains continuous updates as regulations evolve.
