DESCRIPTION
France is entering a new phase of fiscal digitalization with the
upcoming e-invoicing and e-reporting obligations starting
in September 2026, fundamentally changing how transaction
data is shared with the tax administration.
While e-invoicing will primarily affect
B2B transactions between companies established in
France, e-reporting will play a
particularly important role for retail businesses,
as it covers B2C transactions and other operations not
included in the e-invoicing framework.
At the same time, recent legislative discussions suggest a
potential return of self-certification as a method of
proving POS compliance, raising important questions about
how fiscal software verification may evolve in the coming
years.
In this webinar, we will explore the current French
fiscalization framework, the upcoming digital VAT
reform, the operational impact on
retailers, and the implications of possible changes to
certification requirements.
The session will conclude with a
forward-looking analysis of how these developments may
reshape the compliance landscape for businesses operating in
France.
