Spain’s Ministry of Finance has issued Order HAC/1505/2024 on 26 December 2024, which mandates accounting records for products with manufacturing excise duties.
The Order was published on 31 December 2024 and took effect on 1 January 2025.
The new obligation aims to implement an accounting-period bookkeeping system, linking accounting entries for products subject to manufacturing excise duties to the period when the movement, transaction, or process occurs.
The new order also introduces changes to the system, requiring the adoption of accounting based on defined periods. This approach applies to all transactions conducted within a given fiscal year, which aligns with the calendar year.
