As of September 1, 2026, all companies in France must be able to receive electronic invoices.
The obligation to issue electronic invoices will initially concern large companies and mid-caps (ETI) starting in 2026, and will then be extended to SMEs, micro-enterprises, and associations (PME/TPE, etc.) by September 1, 2027.
When issuing an electronic invoice, certain mandatory mentions must be included: notably the client's SIREN number, transaction type (sale/service), delivery address if different from the billing address, and mention of the VAT option on debits if applicable.
Invoices must be transmitted via an "Approved Platform" (or compatible solution)—this is a key element of the transition.
