The introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing in France has been delayed to 2026. Companies are advised to use this extra time to ensure compliance and robustness of their systems. The reform includes obligations for real-time electronic transmission of domestic invoices (e-invoicing) and near real-time transmission of invoicing data for other invoices (e-reporting). These changes are not just technical, but also involve the evolution of tax control rules, including data mining. The French Government sees e-invoicing as a tool to combat VAT fraud, and the data collected will be used for enhanced control programming. Companies should consider the timing to implement the reforms into their systems.
