- France is implementing mandatory electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) and electronic reporting (e-reporting) for all businesses, with a gradual rollout starting in 2026.
- From September 1, 2026, all companies must receive e-invoices; large and medium-sized enterprises must also send them.
- By September 1, 2027, small and micro enterprises must both send and receive e-invoices, making it mandatory for all.
- A voluntary pilot phase began on February 26, 2026, allowing businesses to test the new systems.
