- France will require mandatory e-invoicing and real-time e-reporting for domestic B2B transactions to modernize tax administration and reduce VAT fraud.
- The rollout begins on September 1, 2026: all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive e-invoices, and large/mid-sized companies must start issuing them.
- Small and micro-enterprises must begin issuing e-invoices on September 1, 2027.
- Paper invoices and simple PDFs will no longer be compliant; invoices must use certified digital platforms and structured formats such as Factur-X, UBL, or CII under EN 16931.
- E-reporting will also require transmission of transaction and payment data for cross-border and B2C sales to French tax authorities.
