- The French government is implementing a new Continuous Transaction Control (CTC) system in 2026 to combat tax evasion, fraud, and inefficiencies in business processes and invoice handling. This system will blend centralized and decentralized elements to streamline and modernize the invoicing process across France.
- France’s CTC model is unique, combining centralized management on the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF) and decentralized management on Partner Dematerialization Platforms (PDPs). The PPF will manage the directory, with two types of service providers: Dematerialization Operators (ODs) connected solely to the PPF, and Partner Dematerialization Platforms capable of direct exchanges without using the PPF.
- The French Government has selected Peppol as the service enabler for this project, leveraging its standardized framework for large enterprises. Peppol has been used in France since 2017 for Business-to-Government exchanges, with Pagero as the single Peppol service provider for all B2G e-invoicing in France.
- Peppol plays a crucial role in France, supporting B2G and Business-to-Business (B2B) trading by connecting organizations through a network of Peppol-accredited Service Providers. It provides a set of document specifications to integrate global business.
