- France’s e-invoicing reform is set for a phased rollout by September 2026, with significant progress made by summer 2025.
- The Public Invoicing Portal (PPF) is the main reporting channel to French tax authorities, accessible only through certified Partner Dematerialisation Platforms (PDPs).
- The PPF hosts a central directory for invoice recipient resolution using SIREN, SIRET, or routing codes.
- Peppol network is validated as a standard communication channel to simplify PDP integrations.
- Over 90 candidate PDPs have been testing connectivity with the PPF since March 2025, with varying timelines for full access.
- Key technical documentation is publicly available, including PPF External Specifications and AFNOR XP Z12 standards.
- Businesses should define their strategy by selecting a receiving PDP and adapting their ERP systems to handle structured invoice formats and lifecycle status updates.
