Each of these types of invoice and special regimes or mentions on the invoice must be reported in accordance with the keys and specifications set out in Annex I of Order HFP/417/2017, of 12 May, which regulates the regulatory and technical specifications that develop the keeping of the Value Added Tax Registry Books through the State Tax Administration Agency's Electronic Headquarters.
As a consequence of the elimination of other formal obligations (form 347, form 340 and form 390), a series of additional matters must be reported in addition to those traditionally reported in the register books.This information, which is developed through Order HFP/417/2017 of 12 May, is as follows:
The travel agencies must identify the invoices documenting the provision of services in the contracting of which they intervene as mediators in the name and on behalf of others that comply with the requirements referred to in the fourth additional provision of the Regulation regulating invoicing obligations.
Invoices issued for should be identified.In addition, if the lease is not subject to withholding tax, the cadastral references and the data necessary for the location of the leased property must be provided.
Identification of collections on behalf of third parties of professional fees or rights derived from intellectual, industrial, copyright or other rights on behalf of their partners, associates or members by companies, associations, professional bodies or other entities which, among their functions, carry out collection functions.
Amounts received in consideration for the transfer of real estate, carried out or to be carried out, which constitute supplies subject to value added tax.These amounts received should be treated as accrued amounts for recording purposes.
Finally, they 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 financial year to which they refer, and in grouped form:
The amounts exceeding 6,000 euros that have been received in cash during the financial year from the same person or entity.
Insurance companies must report the insurance operations, in the same terms as they had been reporting in the informative declarations, form 347 and 340, for the amounts of the premiums or considerations received.
3.The invoices issued must be entered in the register of invoices issued, one by one.However, according to Article 63.4 of RIVA, they may:
Invoices issued on the same date and numbered consecutively are grouped in summary entries (remember that, when operations carried out in the same year are documented by means of ordinary and simplified invoices, it is compulsory to issue them in separate series, under the terms established in Articles 6 and 7 of the Invoicing Regulation), provided that the following requirements are met simultaneously:
The documents covered by the summary entry do not require the identification of the consignee, in accordance with the provisions of the Invoicing Regulation.
The accrual of the documented transactions has taken place within the same calendar month.
The summary entries of the invoices shall state the date on which they were issued, the overall taxable amount, the tax rate, the overall amount and the initial and final numbers of the documents noted, and whether the transactions have been carried out under the special cash basis system (in which case the reference shall be included).
Divide a single invoice into several correlative entries when it includes transactions that are taxed at different rates.
A separate entry should also be made at :
