FAQ – E-Invoicing in France

What is e-invoicing in France?

E-invoicing in France refers to the issuance, transmission, and storage of invoices in structured digital formats such as XML, UBL, CII, or Factur-X. This reform is part of the government’s push toward digitalization and will become mandatory for all businesses between 2026 and 2027, in line with the official DGFIP timeline.

What should an e-invoicing platform include?

An effective e-invoicing platform should integrate seamlessly with your existing ERP and CRM systems, provide real-time validation and error tracking, and support compatibility with structured formats and recognized invoicing platforms. It should also offer detailed reporting and monitoring capabilities while ensuring secure and legally compliant archiving of invoices.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

Failure to comply with EU e-invoicing regulations can lead to fines of up to €15 per invoice not transmitted, which can quickly add up for businesses processing large volumes. Non-compliance can also cause payment delays, disrupt cash flow, and increase exposure to tax and legal risks.
