#E-Invoicing in France
France's B2B e-invoicing mandate started on 1 September 2026: every business established in France and subject to VAT must be able to receive e-invoices, and large and mid-size companies must issue them. Small and micro-enterprises must issue e-invoices from 1 September 2027. E-reporting follows the same calendar.

Additional Notes
B2B e-invoices are exchanged through a plateforme agréée (PA, an accredited platform registered by the tax administration; formerly called PDP). Chorus Pro remains the platform for public-sector (B2G) invoicing. E-reporting covers sales to individuals and cross-border transactions.
Open Banking + E-Invoicing in France
Combining e-invoicing with Open Banking creates powerful automation opportunities. Open Banking APIs enable real-time bank transaction access for automated invoice reconciliation, while Payment Initiation Services (PIS) allow instant payments directly from e-invoices.
