Ce nouveau dispositif très encadré concerne à la fois  :

Electronic invoicing: what does it change?

In concrete terms, dematerialization means no more paper, Word, Excel, PDF or equivalent formats! 

In future, electronic files with structured data will be the benchmark for data transmission between suppliers and their customers, as well as with tax authorities.

This standardized file will transit via an Approved Platform (AP).

Frequently asked questions<br>

What are the objectives of the Electronic Billing Reform?


This reform aims to :

  1. Simplify administrative management for companies.
  2. Reduce VAT fraud through accurate transaction tracking.
  3. Speed up payment times with more traceable invoices.
  4. Modernize the economy by improving the competitiveness of French companies.
What is a PA (ex-PDP)?

An Authorized Platform (AP) is the intermediary body for the transmission of electronic invoicing.

They coordinate the sending and receiving of electronic data between the supplier and the buyer, as well as to the French State and the DGFIP.

In particular, PAs can collect invoicing or e-reporting data from software publishers, to ensure data transmission to customers and tax authorities.

When and how to choose your AP?

French companies will have until September1, 2026 to choose a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP).

From this date onwards, companies will be obliged to accept invoices from their Large Enterprise and ETI suppliers.

We already know of the first PAs that are candidates and registered under reserve, but please note that they are not yet registered.

So there's no choice before 2026!

Will incwo be connected to APs?

Yes ! 👉 incwo takes care of everything!

incwo will offer partner PAs, connected to the software to automate data transfer.

All you have to do is select the AP (Approved Platform) of your choice from among our partner offers.

Once this is done, the transmission of invoices for e-invoicing, or your e-reporting operations, will be automatic.

You'll be able to receive and issue invoices on schedule!

When will VSEs have to receive electronic invoices?


All companies, whether they invoice or not, must be able to receive electronic invoices from September 1, 2026.

Large suppliers, such as EDF and telecom operators, will only be sending out invoices in dematerialized format. To receive them, you will need to use an Authorized Platform (AP) registered with the tax authorities.

When will electronic invoicing become compulsory for very small businesses?

The obligation to issue electronic invoices will take place :

  • September1, 2026 for large and mid-sized companies;
  • September1, 2027 for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-businesses.
