E-Invoicing Compliance in France: What International Companies Need to Do Now
France’s mandatory e-invoicing reform is not a distant regulatory change — it is an operational transformation that will affect every invoice your French entity issues or receives. From 2026, all B2B transactions between French VAT-registered companies must be processed through certified dematerialisation platforms (PAs), with real-time transaction data transmitted directly to the DGFiP. PDF invoices sent by email will no longer be legally valid for domestic B2B transactions in France.
