- VAT rules in France will be reorganized and transferred to a new Goods and Services Tax Code from 1 September 2026, with extensive redrafting and renumbering.
- The recodification will standardize terminology, codify CJEU case law, introduce a “zero rate (0%)”, reorganize rules by business sector, and consolidate special regimes.
- EU-mandated technical measures, including elements of the ViDA package, will be incorporated with phased implementation.
- The separate e-invoicing reform will proceed as planned, requiring all French-established businesses to receive e-invoices from 1 September 2026.
- Practitioners and companies must update documentation and adapt to new rules, as the ordinance is not yet final and may change before parliamentary ratification.
