France Sets Mandatory E-Invoicing and E-Reporting Timetable

  • France will require mandatory electronic invoicing and VAT e-reporting for VAT-registered businesses.
  • By September 1, 2026, all France-based businesses must be able to receive e-invoices, and large/mid-sized companies must start issuing them and reporting data.
  • By September 1, 2027, SMEs and micro-enterprises must also begin issuing e-invoices and e-reporting.
  • The rules cover domestic B2B VAT-taxable transactions between French-established businesses.
  • B2C and cross-border B2B transactions are subject to mandatory e-reporting, and invoices must use structured formats like UBL 2.1, UN/CEFACT CII, or Factur-X via accredited PDPs.
