E-Invoicing and E-Reporting Regulations in France

The new e-invoicing reform in France requires companies to send and receive structured electronic invoices (B2B) and to report certain transaction data to the tax authorities (B2C and international B2B companies). This directly affects POS, ERP, and PMS providers.

‍Phase 1 – September 2026:
All companies must be able to receive e-invoices. Large and medium-sized companies must begin sending e-invoices and submitting e-reporting data.

‍Phase 2 – September 2027:
All remaining companies (small, medium, and micro-enterprises) must comply with the sending requirements. Additional transaction types, including reverse charge and intra-Community acquisitions, will become subject to reporting requirements.

The French e-invoicing reform affects every company doing business in France—from issuing and receiving electronic invoices (B2B) to reporting transaction data (B2C and international B2B). Given the approaching deadlines, a compliant solution is essential.

How E-Invoicing & E-Reporting Work with efsta

efsta offers a unified, fully integrated solution that covers both e-invoicing and e-reporting for France in a single integration. Building on your existing fiscal middleware, efsta centralizes the complexity so you can go live faster and with less effort.

E-Invoicing (B2B)

B2B invoices are created in your existing system, transmitted via efsta to the Iopole platform, and delivered to the recipient via the Plateforme Agréée. Iopole is a partner of efsta and offers a certified and accredited Plateforme Agréée solution in France. Full lifecycle tracking – from sent to delivered, accepted, or rejected – is available in the efsta Portal.

E-Reporting (B2C & International B2B Companies)

Transaction data from B2C sales and international B2B transactions is automatically aggregated and submitted to the French tax authorities via Iopole. This fulfills the e-reporting requirement without any manual intervention.

Invoices Inbox

Incoming e-invoices are received via the approved platform and made available in the efstaPortal for viewing, downloading, and processing.

Merchant Onboarding

Each of your merchants goes through a guided, fully digital KYC/KYB onboarding process via a secure online portal. It’s a one-time step that can be completed in a single session—after which the merchant is ready to send and receive e-invoices through the platform.
