Mandatory electronic invoicing: timetable and obligations for businesses and the self-employed
Electronic invoicing between businesses and professionals is moving towards becoming mandatory. It is important not to confuse two separate sets of regulations that run in parallel—B2B electronic invoicing under the Crea y Crece Act and the Verifactu system under the Anti-Fraud Act—and, above all, to plan ahead to meet the deadlines.
The Second Chance Act: what the self-employed and businesses need to know in 2026
The Second Chance Law has established itself as a key tool enabling self-employed individuals and over-indebted private individuals to write off debts they cannot afford to pay and restart their business activities. It is, however, important to have a clear understanding of its requirements and the latest court rulings, as the details make all the difference.
Inheritance: where to start when a relative passes away (and why you shouldn’t put it off)
When a relative passes away, the personal loss is almost immediately compounded by a tangled web of administrative tasks that few people know how to handle: certificates, wills, solicitors, taxes, deadlines. It’s understandable to want to ‘put it off’ until later, but with inheritances, that comes at a cost: some deadlines start from the date of death, and letting them slip by can prove expensive.
You’ve been made redundant: the first steps you need to take (and the deadline you mustn’t miss)
Receiving a redundancy letter is one of those moments when confusion works against you. Amidst the shock and the rush, it’s easy to sign something you shouldn’t or to miss a deadline that can’t be recovered later. That’s why it’s important to be clear about two things from the very start: don’t rush into signing anything, and time is ticking.
You’re owed money and they’re not paying: what you can do to claim an unpaid invoice
For a self-employed person or a small business, an unpaid invoice isn’t just a figure in the red: it’s work already done that isn’t being paid for, cash flow that isn’t coming in and, all too often, sleepless nights. The good news is that the legal system offers several effective ways to claim what you’re owed, and some are quicker and simpler than people usually think.
2026 Mass Regularisation: who is eligible and why you shouldn’t wait until the last day
Spain has launched an extraordinary regularisation process for foreign nationals already residing in the country without proper administrative status. This is a rare opportunity — processes of this kind are not held every year — and, above all, it is an opportunity with an expiry date. Therefore, if you think you may find yourself in this situation, the wisest course of action is to find out more as soon as possible.
Increase in labour inspections in 2026: legal implications for businesses
During 2026, the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate significantly stepped up its enforcement activities across Spain, focusing in particular on the monitoring of temporary contracts, the recording of working hours and the correct implementation of remote working.
Data protection in 2026: new obligations for businesses and SMEs
The protection of personal data remains one of the most legally significant areas in the business world.
In 2026, supervisory authorities have stepped up their oversight of small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in the digital sphere.
Is an employment contract required for extraordinary regularisation?
No, it is not necessary, as it can be replaced by a sworn statement. The sworn statement regarding employment is a key element of the application for a residence permit on grounds of established ties, and its importance lies in how it changes the approach to the process.
