# TicketBAI

Basque Country fiscal invoicing scheme that pre-dates VeriFactu and runs in parallel for Basque taxpayers.

## Definition

Basque Country fiscal invoicing scheme that pre-dates VeriFactu and runs in parallel for Basque taxpayers.

## Explanation

Required since 2022 in Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, and Araba; invoices carry a TBAI identifier and a QR code, and are sent to the regional Hacienda system.

TicketBAI is fully compatible with VeriFactu reporting flows and many providers serve both regimes from a single integration.
