The change

Spain published Royal Decree 238/2026 (BOE, 31 March 2026; in force 20 April 2026) implementing the mandatory B2B e-invoicing system under the Crea y Crece Law (Law 18/2022) — a mixed model of private platforms plus an AEAT public platform. Application is deferred to a forthcoming ministerial order; once it triggers (targeted 1 October 2026 to start the notice periods), large businesses comply about 12 months later and all others about 24 months later.
