SPAIN. Surprisingly, I can't find the definition of this online system for billing and tax declarations on the "official" websites.

Asker: NB: The "official" translation used on the AEAT website is 'Immediate Information Sharing' ...

Immediate information supply


Explanation:
2. ¿Qué es el Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII)?
Se trata de un cambio del sistema de gestión actual del IVA que lleva 30 años
funcionando, pues se pasa a un nuevo sistema de llevanza de los libros registro del Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido a través de la Sede electrónica de la AEAT, mediante el suministro cuasi inmediato de los registros de facturación.

De esta forma, el nuevo SII permite acercar el momento del registro o contabilización de las facturas al de la realización efectiva de la operación económica que subyace a ellas.

3. ¿Por qué se implanta el Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII)?
Porque la situación tecnológica actual permite su implementación en este momento, para mejorar en el control tributario y la asistencia al contribuyente.

Or 'Immediate supply of information'

There's no need to feel sorry! I never rely on my memory when I'm translating and I wouldn't have a job if I did ;-)

Asker: Sorry, I've translated this umpteen times for the same client, but I've been working on fruit and vegetables all morning and couldn't for the life of me remember what the acronym stood for.

Asker: It turn out it was in my WF memory too... :)

early electronic VAT transaction reporting


Explanation:
Although SII refers to "suministro inmediato de información," I'm not sure that "immediate" or "real time" accurately describe this procedure since information must generally be provided within 4 days of the transaction, and in some cases within 8 days:

"El sistema de Suministro Inmediato de la Información (SII), es el nuevo modelo desarrollado por la Agencia Tributaria (AEAT) para la llevanza electrónica de los libros registro del IVA. Este sistema, obliga a la emisión y declaración electrónica, del detalle de las facturas emitidas y recibidas en un plazo máximo de 4 días naturales, incluidas las facturas simplificadas (tiques). En el caso en que la emisión de las facturas sea realizada por un tercero autorizado como EDICOM, el plazo se amplía hasta 8 días naturales."
http://www.edicom.eu/es_ES/solutions/edicom-sii/what-is.html

I've seen that a UK VAT agent translates this as "early electronic VAT transaction reporting", which would appear to be an appropriate rendering:

4-8 days may indeed be fast for the Spanish bureaucracy, but given that those are the timeframes in which reporting is required, I really think "immediate" and "real time" would be misleading renderings.

Asker: I agree, but they want to make it sound mega fast for the now generation ;) From what I've heard, it's far from as simple as they make out... I'll pinch this for future reference, cheers :-)

Asker: PS: I suppose 4-8 days is pretty much "instant" in terms of Spanish bureaucracy... :)

Asker: I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there, Rebecca. Going on the premise that "the customer is always right" the Spanish name is "Immediate" and although they are obviously being economical with the truth, that is what the translation is going to reflect. However, rest assured that I am using your more accurate version "early electronic reporting " in the detailed descriptions of the service. Tx for your help.
