- Tightened penalties for non-compliance: The 2026 Finance Law increases fines for breaches of e‑invoicing obligations, e.g. €50 per missing e‑invoice (capped annually) and up to €1,000 recurring fines for failure to use an approved platform after formal notice. [entreprend…ic.gouv.fr]
- Stronger enforcement framework: Businesses that do not comply with platform usage obligations are first given a 3‑month remediation period; continued non-compliance triggers escalating penalties every three months until resolved. [entreprend…ic.gouv.fr]
- Higher penalties for data transmission failures: Fines for failing to transmit transaction or payment data to the tax authorities are doubled to €500 per missing transmission, reinforcing the importance of e‑reporting compliance under the reform. [entreprend…ic.gouv.fr]
