ELECTRONIC INVOICING
E-Invoicing
in France
Format: Chorus Pro
Where are we now?
In France, e-invoicing is preparing to become one of the most significant tax obligations in Europe, with a structured and progressive model that will come into force between 2026 and 2027. The system is based on certified platforms (Accredited Platforms or PDP), through which companies will have to issue, receive and transmit invoice data to the tax administration.
In B2G, electronic invoicing has already been mandatory since 2020 via the central Chorus Pro platform. For B2B, the obligation will start on 1 September 2026 for large and medium-sized enterprises (which must also be able to receive e-invoices), while from 1 September 2027 it will be extended to all businesses.
Invoices will have to be issued in a structured format compliant with the European standard EN 16931 (UBL, CII or Factur-X) and transmitted exclusively via certified platforms, definitively replacing PDF and paper in domestic B2B processes.
A distinctive feature of the French model is the introduction of e-reporting: in addition to domestic B2B invoices, B2C transactions and international transactions will also have to be reported to the tax authority, ensuring full visibility over VAT flows.
For businesses, compliance is not only regulatory but strategic: it means integrating new standards, platforms and data flows capable of supporting a more automated, traceable and future-proof tax management, aligned with future European developments.
