New version 1.1 of the Spanish VAT Reporting System (SII) becomes effective 1st July, 2018

What is SII?

From 1^st July, 2018, the Spanish tax authority (AEAT) mandates the use of the new version 1.1 of the SII system for the immediate transfer of VAT related information. The former version 1.0 will coexist until 20^th July, 2018.

The SII system for the immediate transfer of information on turnover-related information receives its first update to version 1.1, coming into effect on 1^st July, 2018 – after just one year. The new version intends to eliminate various problems that have been spotted during operations by introducing relabeled or new fields and new codes for better transparency.
