TicketBAI or TBAI is a software-based fiscalization system that is being implemented in the Basque Country between 2021 and 2026 and enforces fiscalization requirements. TBAI thus enables tax offices to control income from economic activities, especially those with end customers. The system is designed to prevent manipulation of tax-related information and prevent fraud.
TicketBAI is a joint project of the Basque Government and the regional tax administrations of the three Basque provinces: Gipuzkoa, Araba, and Bizkaia.
In Bizkaia, TicketBAI is part of the larger control strategy BATUZ. This includes the declaration of a registration book with economic transactions (LROE), which allows the tax administration to prepare VAT drafts.
TicketBAI applies to all natural and legal persons and entities that carry out an economic activity that falls within the jurisdiction of the Basque Tax Administration in personal tax income or society income, as established in the Economic Agreement with the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (Law 12/2012, of May 23) — simplified, a tax address in the Basque Country.
The corresponding legislation specifies which taxpayers will be exempted from this obligation.
The deadlines for implementing TicketBAI vary by region.
Gipuzkoa: From 01.01.2021: Start of voluntary period. From 01.07.2022: Start of mandatory period. Gradual addition of economic segments until 01.06.2023.
Álava: From 01.01.2022: Start of voluntary period. From 01.04.2022: Start of mandatory period. Gradual addition of economic segments until 01.12.2022.
Bizkaia: From 01.10.2021: Start of voluntary period. From 01.01.2024: the mandatory period of BATUZ (including TicketBAI) has been extended from 01.01.2024 to 01.01.2026, gradually for different types of companies and with adaptation periods of six months at a time.
The tax regulations of the Basque Country state that companies and professionals with tax headquarters in the Basque Country must declare each transaction to the corresponding Provincial Treasury in real-time. Working with a homologate software, such as fiskaly's TicketBAI API, allows the taxpayer to comply with the technical requirements of TicketBAI in the three Basque provinces, including the signing and sending of XML files, or the generation of QR and ID codes on each invoice issued.
Integrating a solution like fiskaly's TicketBAI API not only allows you to comply with the current TicketBAI regulations in the three provinces of the Basque Country and avoid sanctions, but also brings other advantages:
All the technical requirements of TicketBAI and their differences for the three Basque provinces are explained in the technical documentation of the TicketBAI API on our website for developers.
Our SIGN ES fiscal solution is designed to comply 100% with the legal requirements with the technical requirements established by the different Provincial Treasury for guarantor software, which is why the TicketBAI API is not customizable. However, it allows software developers to adapt the information to each taxpayer.
The TicketBAI API is very simple to integrate. However, both before, during and after the integration process, you will have our team of experts in fiscalization and software development providing support for a smooth onboarding. In addition, you will always have access to the complete and transparent documentation of our API.
At fiskaly, safeguarding the security and privacy of our clients' tax data is a priority. Therefore, as a company, we implement strict technical and organizational security measures based on ISO 27001 protocol, to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the information on our platforms.
No. One of the main advantages of the TicketBAI API is that it’s constantly updated to respond to the modifications and new requirements of each one of the provinces. This way, taxpayers can focus on growing their business, while ensuring that all tax requirements are 100% covered by fiskaly.
