The new version of specifications for B2B e-invoicing in France

Following the announcement about major changes in e-Invoicing in France, the French Ministry of Finance has published technical specifications regarding the implementation of new invoicing requirements. The specifications detail how to be compliant with e-Invoicing and e-Reporting rules through dematerialization platforms. As a reminder, e-Invoicing will be implemented in phases starting from July 1st, 2024, and will end on January 1st, 2026. From that point on every taxpayer subjected to VAT will have to be compliant with e-Invoicing rules. E-Invoices will be sent through dematerialization platforms, either the state-owned platform Chorus Pro, or private partner platforms. E-Invoices will be sent in different formats, but there will be a list of base mandatory formats that every platform will have to support.
