Each company must make their own decisions about how they meet their tax obligations.
France is introducing mandatory B2B e-invoicing through a phased rollout. From 1 September 2026, large enterprises and mid-sized companies must be able to receive e-invoices. Issuance obligations begin on the same date for large enterprises, extending to mid-sized companies in 2027 and to SMEs and micro-businesses from 1 September 2027. All French VAT-registered businesses must be fully compliant by 1 September 2027.
France uses an accredited operator model. Invoices are exchanged via Partenaires de Dématérialisation (PDPs), certified private platforms that handle transmission, validation, and reporting to the French tax authority (DGFiP).
Accepted formats include Factur-X (hybrid PDF/XML), UBL 2.1, and UN/CEFACT CII, all compliant with the CIUS-FR national standard.
France's system creates a dual obligation: e-invoicing (for domestic B2B invoice exchange) and e-reporting (for transactions not covered by e-invoicing, such as sales to consumers or non-French buyers).
Rydoo is actively working on e-invoicing compliance and assesses each company's situation individually, as integration flows differ by country and business context.
