Key Pillars of the France e-Invoicing Mandate

Government Authority

DGFiP (Direction Générale des Finances Publiques) France’s tax authority governing the e-invoicing and e-reporting rollout. Responsible for defining standards and compliance enforcement.

Platforms Involved

  • PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) – Central public invoicing portal
  • Chorus Pro – Mandatory for B2G transactions (already in place)
  • PDPs – Certified private platforms (like Cygnet.One) for validation, routing, and reporting
  • ODs – Operators who transmit but cannot directly report to DGFiP

Supported Invoice Formats

  • Factur-X – Hybrid PDF + XML format
  • UBL 2.1 – Universal Business Language
  • CII – Cross Industry Invoice (UN/CEFACT)

All formats must be structured, machine-readable, and mapped to France’s e-invoice schema.

Dual Mandate: E-Invoicing + E-Reporting

  • E-Invoicing – For domestic B2B transactions
  • E-Reporting – For B2C & cross-border transactions

Both must be sent to the tax authority in near real-time.

Peppol & France e-Invoicing: What You Need to Know

France is integrating Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) into its national e-invoicing framework — particularly for B2B transactions — alongside its proprietary PPF and PDP-based system. This dual setup aims to ensure cross-border interoperability while maintaining local compliance.
