France's Direction générale des Finances publiques (DGFiP) has launched an online assessment tool to help businesses determine their specific obligations under the country's mandatory electronic invoicing reform and identify applicable implementation deadlines.
The tool, available through the professional section of the tax administration's website, uses four questions to evaluate each business's circumstances and provides tailored guidance on compliance requirements. The assessment covers implementation dates, specific obligations that apply to different business categories, and practical advice for transitioning to electronic invoicing systems.
Businesses can access the tool through the DGFiP website under the professional services section, specifically within the electronic invoicing guidance area. The tool forms part of the tax administration's broader preparation programme for the phased implementation of mandatory B2B electronic invoicing in France.
France's electronic invoicing reform requires businesses to issue and receive invoices electronically for domestic B2B transactions, with implementation occurring in phases based on company size and other criteria. The reform aims to improve VAT compliance and reduce the VAT gap through real-time transaction reporting to tax authorities.
