2. For taxpayers who are required to keep Tax Record Books through the Electronic Office, in addition to the content included in the previous paragraphs, the following details must be included for each record of the invoice issued:

• Type of invoice issued, indicating whether it is a complete invoice or a simplified invoice, a corrective invoice, indicating the reason and amounts corresponding to the correction, an invoice issued to replace previously issued simplified invoices, as well as whether the record corresponds to an invoice summary entry or whether the invoice has been issued by the recipient or by a third party.

• Total amount in the case of operations to which the special regime for used goods, works of art, antiques, and collector's items or the special regime for travel agencies applies.

Each of these types of invoice and special regimes or mentions on the invoice must be reported according to the keys and specifications included in Annex I of Order HFP /417/2017, of May 12, which regulates the normative and technical specifications that develop the maintenance of the Value Added Tax registration books through the electronic headquarters of the State Tax Administration Agency.

As a result of the elimination of other formal obligations (model 347, model 340 and model 390), a series of additional issues must be reported in addition to those traditionally reported in the registration books. This information, which is developed through Order HFP /417/2017, dated May 12, is as follows:

• Travel agencies identify invoices that document the provision of services in whose contracting they intervene as on behalf of and for the account of that comply with the requirements referred to the fourth Additional Provision of the Regulation governing billing obligations.

• Invoices issued by business premises leasing operations must be identified. Furthermore, if the lease is not subject to withholding, the cadastral references and the data necessary to locate the leased properties must be reported.

• Identification of collections on behalf of third parties of professional fees or rights derived from intellectual, industrial, author's or other property on behalf of its partners, associates or members made by companies, associations, professional colleges or other entities that, among their functions, carry out collection.

• Amounts received in consideration for transfers of real estate , carried out or to be carried out, which constitute deliveries subject to Value Added Tax. These amounts received must be understood as accrued amounts for the purposes of their registration.

Finally, the following must also be reported in this register, but only on an annual basis, during the first thirty days of the month of January following the fiscal year to which they refer, and in a grouped manner:

• Amounts exceeding 6,000 euros that have been received in cash during the year by the same person or entity.

• The insurance entities must report the insurance operations , in the same terms as they were reporting in the information declarations, model 347 and 340, for the amounts of the premiums or compensation received.

3. In the Invoices Issued Record Book, the invoices issued must be recorded one by one. However, according to article 63.4 of RIVA , they may:

• Invoices issued on the same date and numbered consecutively shall be grouped into summary entries (remember that, when documenting operations carried out in the same year using ordinary and simplified invoices, it is mandatory to issue them in separate series, arts. 6 and 7 of the Invoicing Regulations), provided that the following requirements are met simultaneously:

1. That in the documents subject to the summary entry, the identification of the recipient is not mandatory, in accordance with the provisions of the Billing Regulations.

2. That the accrual of the documented operations has occurred within the same calendar month.

   The summary entries of the invoices shall include the date on which they were issued, the overall tax base, the tax rate, the overall quota and the initial and final numbers of the documents noted, as well as whether the operations have been carried out in accordance with the special regime of the cash basis (including the mention in this case).

• Splitting a single invoice into several consecutive entries when it includes transactions that are subject to different tax rates.

Likewise, must be noted separately:

• Corrective invoices.

• Invoices that document intra-group operations carried out between entities that apply the advanced level of the Special Regime for the group of entities.
