- France’s e-invoicing reform starts September 1, 2026, requiring all French businesses to receive electronic invoices for domestic B2B transactions.
- Large and mid-sized enterprises must also issue e-invoices and transmit transaction data to tax authorities from this date.
- The reform covers two main areas: e-invoicing for domestic B2B and e-reporting for B2C and cross-border B2B transactions.
- Paper and PDF invoices will no longer be compliant for domestic B2B transactions; structured electronic formats via Accredited Platforms are mandatory.
- The reform aims to reduce VAT fraud, increase transparency, and enable pre-filled VAT returns, with a phased rollout through 2027.
