The Spanish Tax Administration (AEAT) recently released a comprehensive set of files, tools, and documents necessary for the full implementation of the Immediate Information Remittance System (SII Version 1.0). As a final test step before actual go-live, AEAT announced that from June 21 through June 29 taxpayers and solution providers may begin submitting SII reports within the production environment without concern that filings will have legal effect. SII enters into effect on July 1, 2017. On July 1, all filings will have full legal effect and taxpayers will be continually obligated to submit all relevant invoice information to the AEAT in (almost) real time.
