
A Basque Country legislative initiative aims to prevent tax fraud by complying with the TicketBAI obligation. In Bizkaia, TicketBAI is part of the BATUZ economic activity control strategy. The obligation for compliance with this system has been established by the Foral Decree 5/2020, of July 15th. Here you will learn more about TicketBAI's implementation in Bizkaia.

## Requirements in Bizkaia
The TicketBAI software in the billing or POS system must generate XML files for each transaction and sign them with a digital certificate. It also provides a QR code and ID code to print on the invoice. The invoices are chained by the software into a sequence so their trace can be verified in a sequence and the XML files are stored for an established period of time.

#### XML Files differ in Bizkaia
The content of the XML files in Bizkaia slightly differs from the content in the other two provinces. For instance, sending the details of each line or the recipient's address is not mandatory.

#### LROE
Besides implementing TicketBAI, taxpayers in Bizkaia will have to send the LROE books (Book of economic operation registries) to Bizkaia's Provincial Council. The TicketBAI XML files are included within the LROE books. The LROE books must be sent every trimester before April 25th, July 25th, October 25th, and January 31st, depending on when the transactions occurred.

## SII obligations in Bizkaia
In Bizkaia, TicketBAI and LROE replaces the SII. However, those companies already compliant with the SII system will have to keep sending their registries every four days (or according to SII deadlines).

## BATUZ with TicketBAI deadlines in Bizkaia
BATUZ and TicketBAI are initially implemented on a voluntary basis in Bizkaia before becoming mandatory for all activities at the same time. Here you find the deadlines:


**01/01/2022:** Voluntary period starts.

**01/01/2024:** Mandatory period starts for all economic activities.

In the Basque Country in Spain, a compliance law - called TicketBAI (Basque for "Ticket YES") - was passed to prevent tax fraud. Each Basque Province - Gipuzkoa, Araba, and Bizkaia - has established specific software requirements for TicketBAI. In this article, we list the similarities and differences between the provinces.
## What applies in all provinces?
All invoicing systems have to be compliant with TicketBAI. This means the billing or POS systems must be equipped with software that:
1. is registered in the Provincial Software Registration List.
2. chains the invoices so that their trace can be verified in a sequence, preventing manipulation, alteration, or deletion.
3. creates XML files for each transaction, signs them with a valid digital certificate, and sends them to the corresponding Tax Authority.
4. stores all the XML files during the established period of time.
5. generates a QR code and an Identification code which must be printed on the invoice. 
## What are the differences between the provinces?
The differences in compliance with TicketBAI in each Basque province are as follows:
1. Each province has its own Tax Authority to send the files to, depending on where the taxpayer is registered.
2. The content of the XML file may differ slightly between the provinces.
3. In Bizkaia, TicketBAI is part of a more comprehensive strategy called Batuz. 
4. There are differences between the provinces regarding TicketBAI replacing the SII system or not.
5. Implementation deadlines differ.
