The new electronic invoicing regulation (also known as “e-invoicing”) is coming. The reform will affect all companies for receiving their invoices eligible for VAT, starting from September 2026. Discover how Spendesk supports you through this transition by becoming a PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform).
A Reform benefiting the state and companies
For the State
Electronic invoicing will help combat tax fraud by automatically collecting transaction data through the state’s platform.
This new regulation will also save time by eliminating paper invoice processing.
For Companies
The standardization of formats significantly reduces administrative tasks and the risk of errors.
This reform also helps to reduce invoice processing costs (printing, mailing, etc.).
Regulation Changes
Standardized Formats
Companies must be able to manage structured invoice formats: UBL, CII, and Factur-X.
New Obligations
Invoices will need to include mandatory details such as the issue date, an identification number, the SIREN, etc. The status of the invoice must also be reported (submitted, rejected, refused, paid).
A New Transmission Mode
Invoices must pass through a partner solution called a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) that enables communication with the state through an e-reporting system. Each company subject to the regulation must select a state-accredited provider.
