- France’s e-invoicing reform clarified how restaurant meals fit into the new B2B e-invoicing/e-reporting framework, while the €150 excl. VAT restaurant invoice simplification itself remains unchanged.
- A restaurant transaction stays in B2C e-reporting when the customer does not identify a business purchaser; it becomes a B2B electronic invoice when the customer identifies the employer/business as the purchaser.
- If a sale was already reported as B2C and a business customer later asks for an invoice, the process must avoid duplicate VAT reporting.
- From 1 September 2026, all French businesses must be able to receive e-invoices; large companies and ETIs must also issue e-invoices and do e-reporting from that date, while SMEs/TPEs/micro-enterprises start mandatory issuance and e-reporting on 1 September 2027.
