Let’s solve your e-invoicing challenges together
France has required certain businesses to issue and receive structured e-invoices and meet expanded e-reporting requirements since 1 September 2026, with phased expansion through to 2027.
France uses a platform-based “5-corner” model, where invoices are exchanged as structured data through certified platforms and reported to tax authorities. Domestic B2B transactions require e-invoicing, while B2C and cross-border transactions fall under e-reporting.
The Portail Public de Facturation (PPF) is the government platform that acts as a central directory and data hub for invoice and reporting data.
Plateformes Agréées (PAs) are certified platforms that validate, route, and report invoice data. Most businesses will need a PA to exchange compliant invoices — if you don’t have one, you must onboard immediately to avoid invoice rejections and potential fines for non-compliance.
Avalara is a certified PA. We can help you solve e-invoicing in France — and scale compliance to other countries using one global application.
