E-invoicing, e-reporting and payment-data obligations under the French reform
France’s e-invoicing and e-reporting reform is moving closer, with the first obligations starting from September 2026. For VAT, finance and accounting teams, the challenge is not only to prepare for electronic invoices. It is to understand which transactions must be reported, who is responsible, and whether the right data is available before go-live.
Join Global VAT Compliance, in partnership with Electronic Invoicing Global, for a practical webinar on how the French model works and what businesses should prepare now.
Date: Tuesday, 11th August 2026
Time: 2:00 PM CEST (Amsterdam time)
Format: Online Webinar
Duration: 1 hour
Why attend?
France is not introducing a simple invoice-format change. The reform combines e-invoicing, transaction e-reporting and payment-data reporting. It also brings new operational requirements around master data, invoice statuses, platform routing and reporting frequency.
For businesses with French VAT registrations, French customers, French suppliers or cross-border transactions involving France, the key question is practical:
Which transaction falls into which obligation and who must send the data?
This webinar is designed to help indirect-tax and finance teams move from a general understanding of the reform to a clearer view of their own transaction flows, reporting responsibilities and readiness gaps.
Who should attend?
This webinar is relevant for:
- In-house VAT and indirect-tax professionals
- Finance, accounting and tax compliance managers
- Accounts receivable and accounts payable teams
- Businesses established in France
- Foreign VAT-registered companies with French transactions
- SMEs, large enterprises and multinational groups preparing for the French reform
- Companies reviewing ERP data, e-invoicing platforms, fiscal representation or French reporting processes
Why France is different
Why the reform goes beyond invoice formats, with master data, invoice statuses and reporting flows becoming part of compliance.
Who is affected — and when
The 2026 and 2027 phases, including French-established businesses and foreign VAT-registered companies.
How the model works
How invoices and tax data move through Plateformes Agréées, the Annuaire and the DGFiP.
E-invoicing or e-reporting?
How to map sales and purchase flows, identify who owes the VAT and determine who must report.
Preparing for go-live
What to check now across ERP data, forms/files, fiscal representative contracts, reporting frequency and platform setup.
- When does French e-invoicing apply, and when is e-reporting required instead?
- What changes for companies that are VAT registered but not established in France?
- How should businesses map sales and purchase flows involving France?
- Who reports when French VAT is due under reverse charge?
- What data must be available for B2B, B2C and payment-data reporting?
- How often may foreign non-established companies need to report?
- What should be reviewed in fiscal representative or mandataire arrangements?
- How can businesses prepare through ERP data, structured forms or file-based processes?
- Why can rejected invoices, reporting errors and poor master data create more disruption than formal penalties?
