Mandatory e-invoicing in France

France is implementing mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting for domestic B2B transactions as part of its VAT reform. The process will be implemented in stages, with all invoices sent and received via a central state platform (PPF - Portail Public de Facturation) or through certified operators (PDP - Plateformes de Dématérialisation Partenaires), with which the PPF system will be integrated.

According to the new schedule:

  • From September 2026, all companies will have to receive e-invoices and report sales invoice and payment data (e-reporting).
  • The e-invoicing obligation will enter gradually:

    • September 2026 - large companies,
    • 2027 - medium-sized companies,
    • 2028 - small and micro businesses.
E-invoices must be in a structured format (compliant with EN 16931) for automatic processing.

E-invoicing standards in France

France uses a semi-centralized model in which a central PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) platform and a network of certified PDP (Plateformes de Dématérialisation Partenaires) operators play a key role.

The model is based on the exchange of structured e-invoices compliant with the European standard EN 16931, which enables their automatic processing and control by the tax administration.

The main components of the system are:

  • PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) - the central state platform through which all e-invoices and payment reports will pass.
  • PDP (Plateformes de Dématérialisation Partenaires) - private operators approved by the administration that can send e-invoices and data directly between companies and to the PPF.
EN 16931-compliant formats - e.g., UBL, CII, Factur-X (French version of ZUGFeRD), which provide a structured form of the invoice.

Why do CFOs choose Infinite GIP?

Infinite is a certified PEPPOL access point

This means that we are officially authorized to send documents via the PEPPOL network - the European standard for electronic data exchange (invoices, orders, etc.).

You send invoices and documents to administrations and business partners in Europe directly through PEPPOL, without additional integrations.

Compliance with EU security and interoperability standards (including eIDAS and RODO).

Fewer exceptions, more automation - all PEPPOL countries (e.g., Germany, France, Scandinavia, Benelux) "understand" documents sent via this route.

Peace of mind for CFOs and accountants - because documents are sent through a trusted, controlled channel that complies with EU regulations.

Expert opinion
Digitization is no longer about choice - it's about speed and scale. And a well-chosen technology can turn an obstacle into an advantage. That's why it's important to think globally from the start. Even if you're currently operating in just one market, things can change quickly. Regulations evolve, markets open up - and being well prepared at the start avoids chaos and costly adjustments in the future.
