All French businesses, without a size threshold. The receiving obligation starts for everyone on 1 September 2026 — issuing is phased, but being able to receive is not.
France confirmed the generalisation of mandatory B2B electronic invoicing and e-reporting from 1 September 2026. From that date all businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices.

What it means
The “must be able to receive” obligation lands on everyone at once on 1 September 2026; issuing is phased by size afterwards (large/ETI in 2026, SMEs/micro in 2027). Background in our France e-invoicing guide; verify a SIREN with the France validator.
