This article lists the countries where RMS supports fiscal or e-invoicing compliance, whether RMS provides it natively or through a third-party partner, and which partner is used.
Overview
Many countries require businesses to report their invoices to the tax authority electronically. These rules are usually called e-invoicing (sending structured electronic invoices to the tax authority or to the buyer) or fiscalisation (having each invoice signed or recorded by a certified system so it cannot be changed). RMS supports these requirements in a number of countries, either with features built into RMS or through an integration with a certified partner.
Where a partner is used, RMS sends a Tax Invoice to the partner automatically when you create it, if that invoice falls under the country's rules. In some countries every invoice is sent, while in others only invoices issued to a business are sent. Depending on the country, the partner then submits the invoice to the tax authority or delivers it to the buyer. For most partners, the property needs its own account or plan with that partner in addition to RMS. For the countries listed under Countries Set Up by RMS, RMS arranges the connection with the partner instead.
Please Note! RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. For more information, see Understanding RMS Help Centre Articles.
Important! Tax and invoicing rules change often. Properties should confirm their obligations with their accountant or tax adviser before relying on any integration listed in this article.

Native Compliance and Partner Integrations
Native compliance means the feature is built into RMS and no other company is involved. In France, RMS produces the certified, tamper-evident invoice archive that the NF525 standard requires, using the Gov Invoice Archive Export and the Gov Invoice Audit Verification utility.
A partner integration means RMS connects to a certified provider that submits invoices to the tax authority. For a partner integration to work, the property needs all of the following:
- Its own account, plan or credentials with the partner. The partner provides these directly, not RMS, and any partner fees are separate from RMS. This does not apply to the countries listed under Countries Set Up by RMS.
- Any registration the tax authority requires, such as a VAT or tax number, or a certificate.
- The matching module activated in RMS, either the E-Invoice module or the Fiscalisation module.
- The Country field in Property Information set to the correct country. Each integration only applies to properties in its own country.
Countries Set Up by RMS
In some countries, RMS sets up the partner connection on the property's behalf. The property cannot activate these integrations itself in the Module Market.
- Germany, Austria and Spain (Fiskaly): RMS holds the partner relationship with Fiskaly. The property provides its business and tax details to RMS, and RMS registers the property with Fiskaly and connects it in RMS. Once the setup is complete, each Tax Invoice and credit note shows the validation details returned by Fiskaly at the bottom of the document.
- Spain SII: Spain properties use either Verifactu or the Immediate Supply of Information (SII) system, not both. SII is mandatory for businesses with annual turnover above EUR 6 million, and RMS switches the property to SII through Fiskaly on request. SII is only available in Spain's common tax territory, not in the Basque Country, Navarre, the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla. The property must also sign a separate SII authorisation for the Spanish Tax Agency, in addition to the Verifactu one.
- Kenya (Novacom) and Turkey (Turkkep): RMS enters the partner connection details for the property in RMS.
To start the setup for any country on this list, or to ask about a country that is not listed, contact RMS.
Examples
A hotel in Germany may need both fiscalisation through Fiskaly and B2B e-invoicing through ClearTax. These are two separate modules, and a property can run both at the same time. Activating the E-Invoice module does not change the Fiscalisation setup.
A property in Malaysia needs a ClearTax account for Malaysia and the E-Invoice module activated in RMS. When you create a Tax Invoice, RMS sends it to ClearTax, which forwards it to the MyInvois portal and returns an e-Invoice number that is printed on the reprinted Tax Invoice.
