France’s E-Invoicing Reform: PPF, Peppol, and Mandatory E-Reporting

  • France is introducing mandatory e-invoicing and real-time e-reporting to improve VAT compliance and tax transparency.
  • The Portail Public de Facturation (PPF) now acts as a central directory and tax data hub for DGFiP, not as a direct exchange platform.
  • Businesses must send structured invoices (e.g., Factur-X, UBL, CII under EN 16931) through certified private platforms (PA/PDP).
  • France uses the Peppol network for interoperability, with DGFiP as the official Peppol Authority.
  • Large enterprises must start receiving e-invoices from September 2026, with broader rollout continuing through 2027.
