The France e-Invoicing mandate is issued by the DGFiP (Direction générale des Finances publiques), the highest French tax authority that serves as the official Peppol Authority responsible for managing regulatory compliance and data reporting flows. As part of the French Facturation Électronique reform, VAT-registered businesses must comply with e-Invoicing and e-Reporting, using a PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire) to exchange electronic invoices and report transaction data. Invoices must support structured formats such as Factur-X, UBL, or CII. The reform also covers System-to-system API connectivity, which enables ERP-to-PDP integration.
While large and intermediate companies faced a deadline of September 1, 2026, SMEs were required to adopt receiving capabilities by that same date, and issuing capabilities by September 1, 2027. ERP software plays a critical role throughout the entire process by facilitating the generation, validation, and transmission of electronic documents for end-to-end compliance.
