How the DGT's position has evolved

Stable position High confidence 65 rulings · 2017–2026

Current position

Obliged persons under the SII must maintain the registry books of issued and received invoices through electronic supply. It is possible to use summary entries as long as the identification of the recipient is not mandatory, the invoices have consecutive numbering, and the accrual occurs within the same calendar month. Amounts that do not constitute consideration or disbursements, such as certain compensations, must not be reported in the SII.

The DGT's position remains stable regarding the obligation to maintain electronic records and the possibility of using summary entries under specific conditions. The evolution shows an application of technical criteria regarding which concepts should not be integrated into the supply, such as disbursements in imports or compensations that do not constitute consideration.

Turning points

  1. V1125-18

    Allows the use of summary entries in the book of issued invoices if requirements regarding date, accrual, and lack of recipient identification are met.

  2. V1488-21

    Specifies the need to maintain two distinct records for the freight forwarder: one for the import IVA (Value Added Tax) with the DUA (Single Administrative Document) and another for subsequent expenses.

  3. V1891-24

    Clarifies that amounts transferred by compensation that are neither consideration nor disbursements must not be reported in the SII.
