Online Tax Filing
SII, TICKETBAI and SILICIE
Current Situation
On July 1, 2017, the mandatory phase of the Immediate Supply of Information (SII) for submitting VAT declarations through the Tax Agency’s Electronic Headquarters came into force, and on January 1, 2018, it became mandatory for the Provincial Councils. There is also SILICIE (Immediate Supply of Special Tax Accounting Books).
On January 1, 2022, the TicketBai initiative for online invoice submission in the Provincial Councils comes into force.
In the rest of Europe, similar initiatives also exist, such as Portugal’s SAPF-PT, as well as in France, where it will be mandatory starting January 2023.
The submission of forms is gradually being eliminated, as well as the preparation of the VAT ledger books.
All company invoices are affected, including issued invoices, received invoices, and receipts.
The requirements for sending Tax Information must be met; the submission must be made through the corresponding Electronic Headquarters’ “WEB Service” using certified transactions with an electronic signature. The monitoring, acceptance, and/or rejection of submitted records and forms are carried out via the same channel.
Our Proposal – Online Tax Filing
easyap provides its clients with the **easyei** portal as a consolidating element for sending invoicing information to the Tax Agency. Regardless of the client’s ERP/Accounting System or the number of systems, easyap maps and categorizes invoice information according to the technical/functional requirements of the AEAT. No specific development is necessary; easyap adapts to each client’s information model.
