- France’s mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting rollout starts on September 1, 2026.
- From then, all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices in Factur-X, UBL, or CII formats (EN 16931).
- Large and mid-sized businesses must also issue e-invoices and report non-B2B/cross-border transactions; SMEs and micro-enterprises have until September 1, 2027 for issuance.
- Invoices will flow through certified Plateformes Agréées (PA) connected to the public portal (PPF), which handles directory and tax reporting data for DGFiP.
- To comply, businesses should align ERP data to tax fields, collect customer SIRET numbers, track invoice status, and test thoroughly in sandbox environments.
