- France has delayed the transfer of VAT rules from the CGI to the CIBS until 1 January 2027.
- The delay gives businesses, software providers, and tax advisers more time to update systems and documents.
- It avoids overlapping this change with mandatory electronic invoicing, still set for 1 September 2026.
- The recodification changes little substantively in VAT law.
- CGI references may still be used in contracts and invoices until 30 June 2028 without affecting validity.
