Request to impose mandatory e-invoicing

France has requested authorisation from the EU commission to derogate from Articles 218 and 232 of the VAT Directive to be able to impose mandatory electronic invoicing to all taxable persons established in France. The authorisation to derogate would apply from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2026.

This proposal is currently under review with the European Commission. Please refer to this document.
