What details a legal invoice must include in Spain, how VAT and IRPF (income tax withholding) work in your case, and how to issue VeriFactu invoices in seconds instead of building them by hand.
To invoice as a freelance tour guide in Spain you need to be registered as self-employed, issue invoices with sequential numbering that include your details and the client's, the date, the description, the taxable base, the applicable VAT (21% on most guiding services) and, if the client is a company, the IRPF (income tax withholding) where applicable. From July 2027 those invoices will have to comply with VeriFactu. With GuideMe you issue a complete, legal invoice in one click.
A tour guide invoice must clearly identify the issuer and the client and include all the elements the regulation requires. If any are missing, the invoice is not valid for the Tax Agency or for your accountant.
Tour guide services usually carry 21% VAT. If you invoice a company or another self-employed worker, in some cases you will have to apply IRPF withholding. GuideMe calculates VAT automatically and leaves the breakdown ready for your accountant.
Instead of filling in a Word template and risking a numbering or calculation error, with GuideMe you paste the agency's message, AI creates the service and with one click you issue the VeriFactu invoice. Legal, with an official QR code and no retyping.
