Receiving e-invoices is required now. Issuing comes next. Get ready in one file.
A scope check, a supplier and customer register, a platform shortlist, a readiness checklist and a timeline for small businesses facing the French e-invoicing and e-reporting reform. One offline file.
What the reform asks
- Since 1 September 2026: every business established in France and subject to VAT, of any size, must be able to receive e-invoices. [1][2]
- Since 1 September 2026: large and mid-sized businesses (ETI) issue e-invoices and do e-reporting. [3][2]
- From 1 September 2027: small, medium and micro businesses issue e-invoices and do e-reporting. [4][3]
- E-reporting: B2C sales and cross-border B2B transactions are reported as data, not sent as e-invoices. [4][3]
- Through a platform: e-invoices travel through an approved platform (plateforme agréée, formerly PDP). A spreadsheet or this kit cannot do it for you. [2][3]
- Since 1 September 2026: new invoice mentions: customer SIREN, delivery address if different, transaction category, VAT on debits option. [5][6]
Sources disagree on the current fine amounts (EUR 15 or EUR 50 per invoice) and on some details. The kit shows where they differ and does not pick a figure. [7][8]

Questions
Can the kit send e-invoices?
No. Only an approved platform can send and receive e-invoices. The kit helps you choose one and get your partners and tasks in order.
Does it make us compliant?
No tool can promise that. Not legal advice. Check your case with your accountant.
