Why an extension is needed for EN16931 when it comes to B2B mandate and CTC in France

Following the last exchange summit in Lisbon, the presentation of the French CTC and B2B mandate reform has shown the need for extension to the EN16931 in order to address 100% of B2B domestic e-invoices, but also to reach CTC objectives, especially on VAT return pre-filling.

In order to better understand, we have to come back on how the EN16931 was created. Indeed, EN16931 was built following the 2014/55/EU which is focused on e-invoicing in public procurement, under a constraint to mandate any public sector entity of EU members to accept e-invoices sent in the respect of the EN16931 under their UBL and UN/CEFACT CII syntax implementations.
