Downloadable

Electronic invoicing, or e-invoicing, is becoming a worldwide trend, going from a nice-to-have feature to a governmental obligation in several countries. The private sector has been taking advantage of the benefits of e-invoicing technology for years.

Moreover, Latin American countries, such as Brazil and Mexico, have e-invoicing models in operation for B2G (business-to-government), B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) transactions for over 10 years, serving as examples for many countries around the world.
In Europe, countries like Spain, France, and Poland, are now adopting this policy and requiring e-invoicing compliance from companies and businesses.

The establishment of electronic invoicing in France has been a multi-phase process driven by the government to modernize tax administration, stop VAT fraud, and streamline business operations. The e-invoicing mandate in the country started in 2014 for all public entities and B2G transactions. Moreover, in 2021, the French government released an Ordinance that mandated businesses to issue and receive electronic invoices for B2B transactions and comply with reporting transaction data. The implementation is set to start in September 2026, and French companies need to make sure they are e-invoicing compliant by then.

In continuation, we will discuss the rise of electronic invoicing in Europe and the details regarding the implementation of e-invoicing in France.
