Value-added Tax (VAT)

When selling goods and services in Spain, VAT ("Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido", "IVA") may apply. You can configure all Spanish VAT rates in pretix using tax rules, including more complex tax cases (e.g. intra-EU reverse charge transactions).

Invoicing

E-invoicing

Spain is planning to introduce mandatory electronic invoicing for business-to-business (B2B) transactions starting in 2026. Additionally, digital signatures of invoices are already mandatory. pretix does not support this, but it is possible to sell tickets through pretix and issue invoices outside of pretix.

More information is available on the website of the Spanish Ministry of Digital Transformation as well as the website of the European Commission: eInvoicing in Spain.

pretixPOS

The use of cash-registers in Spain is complicated to assess as it differs by region and is dynamically changing. For example, Basque Country is currently implementing TicketBAI Additional regulations like Immediate Supply of Information (SII) and Verifactu might affect the requirements as well.

Talk to your attorney or accountant to find out what requirements affect you and if you can use pretixPOS.
