- France’s 2026 Finance Law reintroduces self-certification as a valid method to prove software compliance, alongside certification by accredited bodies.
- Both certification and publisher’s attestation are now accepted as proof under Article 286 CGI and recognized during tax audits.
- The attestation process is expected to be more complex, requiring strict adherence to an official template, with publishers assuming full legal responsibility.
- Technical compliance requirements for POS systems remain unchanged; self-certification does not reduce compliance obligations or audit exposure.
- The amendment is effective from 20 February 2026, but further administrative details are still pending.
