- The French National Assembly has proposed a two-year grace period (1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028) for penalties and deductibility related to the e-invoicing mandate.
- Businesses acting in good faith during this period would not face fines for non-compliance, as defined by a forthcoming Council of State decree.
- The amendment aims to ensure business continuity and avoid systemic disruption during the transition to mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting.
- The grace period does not delay the obligation to comply but provides flexibility for businesses making genuine efforts.
- The proposal responds to concerns about the scale and complexity of the nationwide digital transformation.
