- France is mandating structured e-invoicing for domestic B2B transactions and e-reporting for cross-border B2B and certain B2C transactions to reduce VAT fraud and modernize tax collection.
- Invoices must be exchanged via certified platforms (PDPs/PAs) or the government portal (PPF/Chorus Pro), and businesses must ensure system compliance with technical and legal standards.
- From September 2026, all businesses must receive e-invoices; large and mid-sized companies must issue them and submit e-reporting. SMEs and micro-enterprises follow in September 2027.
- e-Invoicing is required for domestic B2B transactions; e-reporting covers cross-border B2B, B2C, and certain payment data.
- Key challenges include outdated ERP systems, data quality issues, and workflow disruptions; preparation steps involve mapping transactions, updating systems, cleaning data, aligning with partners, choosing compliance solutions, and thorough testing.
