The Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has established a calendar according to which the new system will be expanded in stages in the different economic activities of the area: the first was the tax management professionals, on July 1 and today it has expanded to bars, restaurants and small shops. By June 2023, all companies must be connected to the Treasury through this channel.

At present, 30% of the companies in Alava operate under the TicketBAI system.
The provincial treasury of Biscay, for its part, opts for the system called Batuz that includes TicketBAI, but at the same time requires more information from companies.

What is TicketBAI?
TicketBAI is a project led by the three regional treasuries and the Basque government that aims to fight tax fraud. It consists in the establishment of legal and technical obligations which, in principle, oblige all natural and legal persons carrying out an economic activity in the Basque Country to use invoicing software.
TicketBAI enables the Provincial Treasury to audit all bills issued in the region, especially bills for activities billed in cash, using the information obtained from that audit to assist taxpayers in complying with their tax obligations.
