The reform went live on 1 September 2026. Every VAT-registered business established in France must now be able to receive e-invoices. Small and micro businesses start issuing on 1 September 2027.
E-invoicing in France: how Peppol fits the reform
France’s e-invoicing reform, facturation électronique, requires businesses established in France to exchange domestic B2B invoices in structured formats through a plateforme agréée (PA) and to report transaction data to the tax administration. The DGFiP is the Peppol Authority for France, and plateformes agréées can exchange invoices with each other over the Peppol network. Qvalia is a certified Peppol Access Point that connects suppliers, groups and software platforms to that network.
UBL, CII and Factur-X
The reform accepts three base formats: UBL, UN/CEFACT CII and the hybrid Factur-X. Qvalia validates structured invoices against EN 16931 before they enter the Peppol network.
For groups and international suppliers
Send Peppol invoices to French customers that receive through a plateforme agréée on the Peppol network, from the same connection you use for other markets and your ERP.
Peppol infrastructure for platforms
Software platforms registered or applying as a plateforme agréée can run their Peppol Access Point on Qvalia’s infrastructure through the Hosted Access Point model, under their own Service Provider role.

What is the French e-invoicing reform?
The reform makes structured e-invoicing mandatory for domestic B2B transactions between VAT-registered businesses established in France. It also introduces e-reporting of transaction and payment data for B2C sales and cross-border transactions. Invoices are exchanged through plateformes agréées, and the public invoicing portal (PPF) operates the central directory (annuaire) and collects tax data. See impots.gouv.fr on e-invoicing and plateformes agréées.
When does e-invoicing become mandatory in France?
From 1 September 2026, all VAT-registered businesses established in France must be able to receive e-invoices, and large and mid-size companies (GE and ETI) must issue e-invoices and submit e-reporting data. From 1 September 2027, small and micro businesses (PME and TPE) must also issue e-invoices and submit e-reporting data.
What is a plateforme agréée?
A plateforme agréée (PA), previously called a PDP, is a platform registered by the DGFiP to issue, receive and transmit e-invoices on behalf of businesses and to send invoice and transaction data to the tax administration. Businesses established in France must use a plateforme agréée for invoices in scope of the reform. The DGFiP publishes the official list of plateformes agréées.
Is Qvalia a plateforme agréée?
Qvalia is currently undergoing accreditation and will be ready in Q4 2026.
How is Peppol used in France?
The DGFiP acts as Peppol Authority for France. Plateformes agréées must be interoperable with each other, and the Peppol network is one of the ways they exchange invoices. Access Points established outside France take part under their own Peppol Authority or OpenPeppol, as described on impots.gouv.fr.
Which invoice formats are accepted in France?
Three base formats, all based on EN 16931: UBL, UN/CEFACT CII and Factur-X. Factur-X is a hybrid PDF/A-3 file with embedded CII XML and is technically aligned with the German ZUGFeRD format. A plain PDF is not a valid e-invoice under the reform.
Does the reform apply to companies outside France?
The e-invoicing obligation applies to businesses established in France. Transactions with foreign suppliers and customers are covered by e-reporting, which the French party submits. Suppliers outside France can still send structured invoices over Peppol to French customers whose plateforme agréée is reachable on the network.
How does ViDA affect e-invoicing in France?
Under the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package, e-invoicing and digital reporting become mandatory for intra-EU B2B transactions from 1 July 2030, based on EN 16931. Structured invoice data and Peppol connectivity put in place for the French reform also support cross-border requirements.
Can software platforms run Peppol on Qvalia’s infrastructure?
Yes. With a Hosted Access Point, you hold your own Peppol Service Provider role, Access Point identity and PKI certificate, and Qvalia operates the underlying infrastructure. Approval rests with OpenPeppol or the relevant Peppol Authority. Platforms that do not need their own role can use Embedded Peppol for markets outside the French reform.
Here’s our quick guide for e-invoicing compliance in France.
Qvalia prend-il en charge à la fois l'utilisation via le Web et les intégrations d'entreprise ?
