The mandating of e-invoicing in France remains on course for September 2026, after the country’s National Assembly voted against a proposed one-year delay.
By rejecting the option of delay, the French government has signalled its unwavering commitment to implementing e-invoicing across the country less than 18 months from now.
The rollout of e-invoicing in France will follow the below roadmap:
- 1) Testing and directory pilot – 2025
- 2) Interoperability testing – October 2025
- 3) Full directory access via connector – February 2026
- 4) First phase launch – September 2026
- 5) Second phase launch – September 2027
