E-Invoicing France Transition Simplified With Two-Year Grace Period

E-invoicing France enters a 2-year soft-landing under the 2026 Finance Bill, helping businesses smoothly.From 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, companies will benefit from a formal tolerance phase. During this period, businesses that demonstrate genuine efforts to comply will not face financial penalties, even if they encounter errors in the early stages under e-invoicing France.
The penalty waiver covers:
• Article 1737, III – Penalties for failing to issue invoices in the mandated electronic format
• Article 1788 D, I & II – Penalties for missing, inaccurate, or late e-reporting submissions

It’s important to note that e-invoicing and e-reporting obligations still begin on 1 September 2026, but businesses will have time to adjust and stabilise their processes without the immediate risk of sanctions as part of e-invoicing France.
