- France says its 1 September 2026 e-invoicing/e-reporting launch is still on track, despite ongoing delay rumours.
- Readiness concerns remain: of 127 registered Accredited Platforms, only 17 are actively exchanging e-invoices and 46 are in the pilot.
- DGFiP says there will be no automatic “blind” sanctions at launch and will soften penalties for taxpayers making genuine best efforts.
- A legal fallback date of 1 December 2026 exists if implementation needs to be deferred.
- Businesses are still being told to prepare for 1 September 2026, with the next few months seen as decisive.
