- France is mandating phased eInvoicing and e-reporting for all VAT-taxable businesses, including foreign companies with a fixed establishment in France.
- From September 1, 2026, all French VAT-taxable businesses must receive eInvoices; large and medium companies must also issue eInvoices and submit e-reporting, with small businesses following from September 1, 2027.
- EInvoicing applies to domestic B2B transactions subject to French VAT, with some exemptions; e-reporting covers B2C and cross-border transactions, requiring regular submission of detailed transaction data.
- Companies must use an accredited platform for eInvoicing; Peppol is not mandatory.
- Payment data and invoice lifecycle statuses must also be reported, impacting invoicing processes and system integration for affected organizations.
