E-invoicing reform in France

E-invoicing, which is already mandatory for public contracts in Europe (B2G, for Business to Government), will be extended to all business-to-business transactions in France in September 2026. In this paper, Eight Advisory unveil its recommendations for companies to set their roadmap and ensure compliance. 

An electronic invoice is an invoice whose entire life cycle (creation, distribution and receipt) is dematerialised. It is therefore not simply a PDF invoice. 

Electronic invoicing, which is already mandatory in the area of public procurement, will also be mandatory in business-to-business transactions from 1 September 2026 in order to combat tax fraud. Companies therefore need to start their e-invoicing compliance project now so that they can implement it as effectively as possible and set their roadmap for success.
