Electronic invoicing 2026 for sole traders
From 2026, electronic invoicing becomes mandatory for all French businesses. ITatScale prepares you today with a dedicated module, simple and free.
What is the 2026 electronic invoicing reform?
The French tax reform requires all VAT-registered businesses to issue and receive invoices in structured electronic format via a certified partner dematerialization platform (PDP) or the public Chorus Pro portal.
This obligation applies progressively from September 2026 for large companies, then extends to SMEs, small businesses and sole traders. Non-compliance exposes you to tax penalties.
Unlike a simple PDF sent by email, a compliant electronic invoice must be in Factur-X, UBL or CII format and transmitted via a certified channel.
