PyVerifactu

May 28, 2026 · View on GitHub

Python library for generating and submitting invoice records to the Spanish tax authority (AEAT) using the VERI*FACTU system.

This is a Python port of Verifactu-PHP, maintaining file-by-file and model-by-model correspondence for easy maintenance and synchronization.

Note: The package name on PyPI is pyverifactu, but the Python module name is verifactu (i.e., you install with pip install pyverifactu but import as from verifactu import ...).

Requirements

  • Python 3.8 or higher

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install pyverifactu

For development (from source):

pip install -e .
pip install -e ".[dev]"  # with dev dependencies

Usage

from datetime import datetime
from verifactu.models.computer_system import ComputerSystem
from verifactu.models.records import (
    RegistrationRecord,
    InvoiceIdentifier,
    BreakdownDetails,
    FiscalIdentifier,
    InvoiceType,
    TaxType,
    RegimeType,
    OperationType,
)
from verifactu.services.aeat_client import AeatClient

# Create an invoice record
record = RegistrationRecord()
record.invoice_id = InvoiceIdentifier(
    issuer_id="A12345678",
    invoice_number="FACT-2025-001",
    issue_date=datetime(2025, 1, 1)
)
record.issuer_name = "Example Company SL"
record.invoice_type = InvoiceType.FACTURA
record.description = "Test invoice"

# Add breakdown
breakdown = BreakdownDetails(
    tax_type=TaxType.IVA,
    regime_type=RegimeType.C01,
    operation_type=OperationType.SUBJECT,
    tax_rate="21.00",
    base_amount="10.00",
    tax_amount="2.10"
)
record.breakdown = [breakdown]
record.total_tax_amount = "2.10"
record.total_amount = "12.10"

# Add recipient
recipient = FiscalIdentifier(name="John Doe", nif="12345678A")
record.recipients = [recipient]

# Calculate hash
record.hashed_at = datetime.now()
record.hash = record.calculate_hash()

# Validate
record.validate()

# Submit to AEAT (requires certificate)
system = ComputerSystem(
    vendor_name="Your Company Name",
    vendor_nif="A12345678",
    name="Test System",
    id="PA",
    version="1.0.0",
    installation_number="1234",
    only_supports_verifactu=True,
    supports_multiple_taxpayers=False,
    has_multiple_taxpayers=False
)

taxpayer = FiscalIdentifier(name="Example Company SL", nif="A12345678")
client = AeatClient(system, taxpayer)
client.set_certificate("/path/to/cert.pfx", "password")
client.set_production(False)  # Use test environment

response = await client.send([record])
print(f"Status: {response.status}")
print(f"CSV: {response.csv}")

Autofacturas (self-billing)

Para indicar que una factura ha sido expedida materialmente por un tercero o por el destinatario, se puede informar el campo issued_by_third_or_recipient con ThirdOrRecipientType.THIRD ("T") o ThirdOrRecipientType.RECIPIENT ("D"). Se mapea al elemento EmitidaPorTerceroODestinatario del registro de alta de AEAT.

from verifactu import RegistrationRecord, ThirdOrRecipientType

record = RegistrationRecord(
    ...,
    issued_by_third_or_recipient=ThirdOrRecipientType.RECIPIENT,
)

Nota: el soporte para identificar al tercero expedidor (elemento Tercero del XSD) aún no está implementado (no se usa ni soporta de momento)
