The second article amends the General Rules of Procedure and the procedures for the management and inspection of taxes and the development of the common rules of procedures for the application of taxes, in order to exonerate the obligation to submit the annual declaration of transactions with third parties, model 347, and the presentation of the information declaration referred to in Article 36 of the abovementioned Regulation, model 340, to those who use the new record book keeping system.

For its part, the third article amends the Regulation governing the obligations of invoicing, approved by Royal Decree 1619/2012 of 30 November, establishing that the persons and entities of Article 62.6 of the Value Added Tax Regulation, which choose to comply with the obligation to issue an invoice by the addressees of the transactions or by third parties, must present a census declaration communicating this option, the date to from which the exercise and, where applicable, the waiver of the option and the date of its effects.

Finally, the Royal Decree contains two final provisions. The first reference to the title of competence, and the second, provides for the entry into force of the title, as a general rule, for 1 July 2017, with certain exceptions.
