France (B2G Legacy Profile): Overview

Get an overview of the requirements for France.

This country uses the PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 specification for e-invoicing.

PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 is based on the Universal Business Language (UBL 2.1) format and adheres to the European standard for e-Invoicing (EN 16931).

Mandate information

B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory in France since January 1, 2020. All vendors to public entities must issue e-invoices via the central platform Chorus Pro.

A new e-invoicing platform is under development (called the Portail public de facturation (PPF)) but it is not decided if this will succeed the Chorus Pro platform.
