The French tax administration announced on 16 October 2024 that the state will support the generalisation of electronic invoicing between businesses, confirming official backing for the mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime.

The announcement, published on the official tax portal impots.gouv.fr, directs businesses to dedicated resources including a comprehensive section on transitioning to electronic invoicing and a press release issued by the Ministry of Economy on 15 October 2024. The tax authorities emphasise that support materials and guidance are available through the professional section of the tax portal.
