The 2026 electronic invoicing reform marks a major shift for French companies. After several years of announcements, postponements, and technical clarifications, the timeline is now clear: all companies must be able to receive electronic invoices starting September 1, 2026. The good news is that Odoo is already ready. Even better, Dynapps France supports French SMEs and mid-sized companies through every step of this transition, with proven field experience and more than 600 Odoo projects deployed.
Electronic invoicing 2026: what the updated timeline requires
Receiving electronic invoices: mandatory for all companies starting September 1, 2026. Issuing electronic invoices:
- September 1, 2026 for large companies and mid-sized businesses
- September 1, 2027 for SMEs and micro-enterprises
In other words, even the smallest businesses must start anticipating their compliance and adapting their systems now.
Why is electronic invoicing becoming mandatory?
The rollout of electronic invoicing aims to achieve several goals:
- Reducing VAT fraud
- Improving the reliability of exchanges between businesses
- Automating accounting processes
- Simplifying tax audits
- Reducing administrative costs
- Saving time thanks to pre-filled invoices
This reform follows the already existing requirement to use Chorus Pro for invoices sent to the public sector.
What electronic invoicing covers
Electronic invoicing applies to all B2B invoices subject to VAT and issued in France. This means that each invoice issued or received must be digital and transmitted using a format that complies with regulations. Additionally, certain information must be transmitted for other types of transactions as part of e-reporting.
Concrete examples of electronic invoicing application
B2C sales: when your company sells to individuals, certain transaction data must be transmitted to the tax authorities to ensure traceability and compliance.
Clients not subject to VAT: if you invoice an association, a micro-enterprise, or any entity not subject to VAT, relevant invoice data must also be reported through e-reporting.
Transactions with foreign companies: when you provide products or services to a business located outside France, the electronic invoice must be issued and specific information transmitted to French tax authorities to ensure regulatory compliance.
Regulatory framework for 2026 electronic invoicing
The implementation of electronic invoicing relies on a well-defined legal framework:
- Decree no. 2022-1299, which sets the obligations for issuing, transmitting, and receiving electronic invoices.
- The order dated October 7, 2022, which details the required formats and technical procedures for compliance.
