VERIFACTU MODALITIES
a) VeriFactu software with automatic sending— sends the invoice to the AEAT at the time of issuance (real-time telemetry).
b) Compliant software without automatic sending— does not send the invoice at the moment of issuance, but meets all technical requirements (record chaining, encryption and custody, event log and cancellation/correction proofs, and the ability to evidence and provide records to the AEAT upon request).
It is important to review the following nuances:
Great stories have personality. Consider telling a great story full of personality. Writing a story with personality for potential clients will help you maintain relationships and connections. Use words or phrases that demonstrate this and remember to write from your perspective, not from someone else's experience.
Great stories are for everyone even if they were written for a single person. If you try to write it thinking of a broad and general audience, your story will sound false and will not be exciting. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it is genuine for one person, it will be for others.
