What does electronic invoicing mean?<br> We tell you all about it!
What is electronic invoicing?
E-invoicing exchanges structured data through a certified platform. Since 1 September 2026, VAT-taxable businesses established in France must be able to receive these invoices. Large and intermediate-sized businesses must also issue them from that date; SMEs and micro-businesses from 1 September 2027.
What type of operations does the reform apply to?
- Sales of goods and/or services between companies established in France. This is known as e-invoicing.
- International transactions and commercial operations with private individuals. This is e-reporting.
Which companies are concerned by electronic invoicing?
All companies subject to VAT!
Whatever their size or activity, all companies established in France are concerned.
This also includes those benefiting from basic VAT exemption, such as auto-entrepreneurs or micro-enterprises.
What will no longer be accepted
Paper invoices sent by post
Scanned paper invoices
Classic PDFs sent
by e-mail
Direct invoicing between suppliers and customers
Electronic invoicing: what does it change?
For transactions subject to mandatory e-invoicing, a simple PDF sent by email is no longer sufficient: the structured invoice goes through a certified platform. The applicable date depends on your business and the type of transaction.

This reform aims to :

- Reduce VAT fraud through accurate transaction tracking.
- Speed up payment times with more traceable invoices.
- 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.
How do I choose and activate a certified platform?
Since 1 September 2026, VAT-taxable businesses established in France must be able to receive electronic invoices. Choose a platform on the official French tax authority list, then complete connection and directory registration. In incwo, review partner platforms and activate your chosen connection.

Yes. incwo connects to Pennylane and Hubtimize E-Invoicing, published by EsaLink. Choose your partner and complete activation to send and receive invoices in incwo. Each platform page explains its features and conditions.
When will VSEs have to receive electronic invoices?
Since 1 September 2026, VAT-taxable businesses established in France, including those using the VAT exemption scheme, must be able to receive electronic invoices from relevant suppliers. Receiving requires a certified platform and an invoicing address registered in the directory.
When will electronic invoicing become compulsory for very small businesses?
Issuing electronic invoices and e-reporting have been mandatory since 1 September 2026 for large and intermediate-sized businesses, and become mandatory on 1 September 2027 for SMEs and micro-businesses, for transactions within the scope of the reform.
