- France’s mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting for VAT-registered businesses is postponed to 2026-2027.
- All companies, including small, VAT-exempt, and foreign businesses, must be able to receive e-invoices by September 2026 and issue them by 2026 or 2027, depending on size.
- Compliance is the responsibility of each business; accredited platforms only transmit data and do not ensure compliance.
- Expensive ERP upgrades are not required; structured, accurate data and proper preparation are key.
- Pre-filled VAT returns do not remove the obligation for companies to review and validate their VAT declarations.
