- Electronic Invoicing Reform Timetable: The French government has reaffirmed the timeline for electronic invoicing reform, set for September 1, 2026, or September 1, 2027, depending on company size.
- Scope Restriction of Public Procurement Framework (PPF): The PPF will now focus on establishing a recipient directory and a data hub for tax information transmission, limiting its previous broader role.
- Role of Certified Platforms (PDPs): Certified Platforms, or “PDPs,” will be mandatory for sending and receiving electronic invoices and for transmitting e-reporting data to the PPF.
- Impact on Business Strategies: The changes will affect companies’ e-invoicing strategies, prompting questions about direct connections to the PPF, data operators’ roles, and the necessity of PDPs for transmitting invoicing data.
- Future Developments and Compatibility: Further details will be provided in a Tax Alert, including potential implications for invoice archiving solutions and alignment with the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) directive, as well as updates in the upcoming 2025 Finance Bill.
