- On 10 July 2026, French Tax Authorities issued guidance on the first phase of mandatory B2B e-invoicing and e-reporting, which begins on 1 September 2026.
- The guidance includes simplification measures to help businesses transition.
- For VAT purposes, businesses can still deduct VAT on traditional invoices (paper or PDF) received via legacy channels during this initial phase.
- This applies as long as the transactions are genuine and the usual VAT documentation requirements are met, even if the invoice should have been issued electronically.
