Your questions, our answers
Would you like to know more about how we can support you? Find answers to the most common questions about the firm and the first steps of working together.
Is my business concerned?
The reform applies to businesses established in France and subject to VAT, including those under the VAT franchise scheme. E-invoicing covers business-to-business transactions within its scope. Your obligations depend in particular on your customers and the transactions you carry out.
What are the deadlines?
Since 1 September 2026, all businesses concerned must be able to receive electronic invoices. Large companies and mid-sized companies must also issue them. From 1 September 2027, the obligation to issue e-invoices will apply to SMEs and micro-businesses.
Is a PDF invoice sent by email enough?
No. For transactions subject to the new obligation, a simple PDF sent by email is not enough. The invoice must contain structured data and be sent through an approved platform.
What is an approved platform?
It is an operator registered by the tax authorities and authorised to issue, transmit and receive electronic invoices, and to send the required data to the authorities.
Do I need to change my invoicing software?
Not necessarily. You can keep your software if it is suited to the reform and connected to an approved platform. Check with your software provider about compatibility and any updates required.
If I only invoice private individuals, am I concerned?
Yes, the reform may also apply to you. Sales to private individuals fall under the system for sending data to the authorities, known as e-reporting. You must also be able to receive electronic invoices from your suppliers if your business falls within the scope of the reception obligation.
