Use this page when you need to prepare an invoice for a customer in Spain, especially when the buyer is a business or professional. A proper full invoice should give the client enough information to approve the charge, book the expense, and identify the tax treatment without asking for a corrected document.
Spanish full invoices are regulated mainly by Royal Decree 1619/2012. The required structure includes sequential numbering, issue date, supplier and customer identification, taxable-base details, IVA rate, and separately stated IVA amount. Treat those fields as invoice essentials, not optional formatting choices.
A Spanish full invoice must include an invoice number and, where applicable, a series. Numbering within each series must be sequential, and separate series are required for rectifying invoices and certain other cases. The invoice also needs an issue date and the supply or advance-payment date when that date differs from the issue date.
Supplier and customer identification matters. A full invoice must show full names or business names and addresses, plus the supplier's NIF. The customer's NIF is required for domestic taxable operations and specified cross-border or reverse-charge cases. Each line should describe the goods or services, taxable base, unit price before tax, discounts outside that price, IVA rate, and IVA amount.
Spain's indirect tax is IVA. The VAT law sets a 21% general rate, a 10% reduced rate, and a 4% super-reduced rate, while the VAT territory excludes the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla from the harmonized VAT area. If an exemption, reverse charge, cash-accounting regime, customer self-billing arrangement, or special regime applies, the invoice needs the required wording.
Invoice amounts may be expressed in any currency, but any VAT charged must be expressed in euros. Invoices may be issued in any language, though the tax administration can require translation into Spanish or another official language in Spain for audit purposes. For commercial transactions, the default payment period is 30 calendar days after receipt of goods or services if the contract does not set a date, and agreed terms cannot exceed 60 calendar days.
A one-off invoice app is enough when you have the client details, the taxable lines, the IVA treatment, and the payment terms ready. It works well for a single project, a small batch of services, or a corrected invoice that needs clean numbering and clear tax lines.
A managed workflow becomes useful when invoices come from tracked work, mixed rates, billable expenses, and non-billable tasks. Everhour supports billable and non-billable time through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports for billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost.

A Spanish full invoice should not skip sequential invoice numbering, issue date, supplier identity, customer identity, line-level taxable-base details, IVA rate, and separately stated IVA amount. The supplier's NIF belongs on the invoice, and the customer's NIF is required for domestic taxable operations and specified cross-border or reverse-charge cases.
Spanish invoices may show amounts in any currency, but any VAT charged must be expressed in euros. This matters when billing an international client because the commercial amount and the tax amount still need to be readable for Spanish tax review.
Spain's mandatory B2B e-invoicing system applies when the recipient is a business or professional established or resident in Spain, except most simplified invoices. The effective dates are deferred until 12 months after the implementing ministerial order for businesses above €8 million annual turnover and 24 months for other businesses and professionals.
Spain's IVA system uses a 21% general rate, a 10% reduced rate, and a 4% super-reduced rate. The correct rate depends on the goods or services supplied. The invoice should show the applicable rate and the VAT amount separately, rather than burying tax inside a single total.
For commercial transactions between businesses or with public administrations, the default payment period is 30 calendar days after receipt of goods or services if the contract does not set a date. Agreed payment terms cannot exceed 60 calendar days, so an invoice app should keep the due date aligned with the contract and that cap.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so client invoices can exclude internal work without losing operational visibility.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts uninvoiced billable time and expenses into client invoices. Users can preview the breakdown, group invoice line items by project, task, person, date, or another available structure, then export invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Track billable and non-billable work before invoice day. Everhour keeps project time, rates, exclusions, and billing reports connected for cleaner client invoicing.
