Why France Should Be Your Top E-Invoicing Priority in 2026

Why France Should Be Your Top E-Invoicing Priority in 2026

📅 Tuesday, May 12
🕙 10 AM EST | 3PM GMT | 4PM CET 
⏳ 45 minutes + Q&A
👥 Vertex, KPMG LLP and ecosio speakers

France is the most immediate e-invoicing deadline facing European businesses. From September 2026, all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices, with large and intermediate enterprises also required to issue e-invoices from the same date.  

With accredited platforms, strict format requirements, and financial penalties now locked in, this webinar breaks down what France’s mandate requires and how organizations must prepare now—across compliance, finance operations, and IT systems.  

What You’ll Learn  

  • Who must comply and when, including receipt vs. issuance requirements and phased SME timelines  
  • What e-reporting means for your business—and why French companies must also transmit transaction data for B2C and cross-border transactions to the tax authority through an accredited platform  
  • What IT teams must deliver to support FacturX, UBL 2.1, CII, accredited platforms, and Peppol connectivity–and why all businesses must now use an accredited platform, with no free public portal fallback  
  • How France’s mandate impacts AR/AP controls, cashflow visibility, and compliance processes for Tax and Finance 
  • Why France should be treated as your highest priority e-invoicing implementation project today—not a future roadmap item
