The e-invoicing landscape in France is undergoing a major transformation, with new regulations set to take effect on September 1, 2026.
These changes, part of a broader effort to combat tax evasion and streamline financial reporting, mandate that all businesses subject to VAT tax must send and receive invoices electronically.
The French government has introduced a network of registered Platform de Dématérialisation Partenaire (PDP) providers, trusted intermediaries that will facilitate e-invoice exchanges and ensure compliance with the new rules.
In France, becoming a PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire) requires passing a rigorous accreditation process. Candidate PDPs must demonstrate that they can fully comply with the country’s legal and technical requirements for electronic invoicing. This includes proving their ability to handle the wide range of data flows and actions mandated by French legislation for domestic companies.
As of May 2025, no provider has been fully certified as a PDP. All applicants are still undergoing extensive testing with the French tax authorities. This testing phase is essential due to the complexity and variety of invoice and data exchange flows that must be supported. Until this process is complete and official certification is granted, no provider can truthfully claim to be a fully registered PDP—only that they are a candidate currently in the testing phase.
Here is the list of companies that applied for PDP (in French)
