Statute overview

About this statute

This article changes public procurement rules so contractors must pay invoices on time, subcontractors and suppliers gain late-payment rights, and public contracting bodies can check compliance and impose penalties in certain cases. This provision adds subsidy eligibility rules tied to payment discipline and requires certain companies to prove compliance with payment deadlines. This provision requires businesses and professionals to use electronic invoices in B2B dealings, sets free interoperability rules, grants free copy access for four years, limits invoice-format forcing, and allows sanctions for noncompliance. Repeated breaches of late-payment rules in commercial transactions are treated as unfair conduct. This article repeals Title V of Law 5/2015, effective from 10 November 2022.
