Understanding the reform
What is e-reporting, and why might it concern your foreign company?
E-reporting is an electronic transmission system for tax data to the French tax authorities. It complements the mandatory electronic invoicing system (e-invoicing) to give the authorities a more comprehensive view of economic activity carried out on French territory.
Unlike e-invoicing, which is reserved for transactions between companies established in France, e-reporting also applies to foreign companies as soon as they carry out taxable operations in France under their French VAT number.
Strengthening the fight against VAT fraud
Preparing for pre-filled VAT returns
Facilitating tax audits and ensuring data reliability
Who is concerned
Is your company subject to e-reporting?
Foreign companies registered for VAT in France and carrying out taxable operations on the territory are concerned.
Foreign company registered for VAT in France
Foreign company not established in France
Distance sales of goods to French private individuals
B2C services supplied in France
Transactions not subject to e-invoicing (B2C or outside the EU)
⚠️ Please note
A foreign company without a French VAT number is not concerned by e-Reporting obligations.
The effective date depends on the size of the company, not on its nationality.
ASD Group manages the entire e-Reporting process on your behalf, from data collection through to official submission via the accredited platform.

What are the risks
in the event of non-compliance?
The French tax authorities may impose significant penalties in the event of non-compliance with e-Reporting obligations. These penalties apply per transaction and are cumulative.
Financial penalties
A penalty of €500 for each missing or incorrect transmission
Cap of €15,000 per calendar year
Late penalties applicable from the first day of delay
Increased penalties in the event of repeat offences within the following 3 years
Risk of tax reassessment if the authorities cross-check the data
Operational risks
No Accredited Platform (PA) = technical inability to submit
Data rejected in the event of an incorrect format or missing fields
Failure to meet compliance deadlines due to lack of preparation
Risk of the tax representation status being challenged
Tax audit triggered by inconsistencies in reporting flows
Why must foreign entities
use an Accredited Platform (PA)?
The Public Platform (public invoicing portal, PPF) is only accessible to entities established in France. Foreign companies registered for French VAT have no other option than to use an Accredited Platform approved by the DGFiP.
Access restricted to Accredited Platforms (PA)
Companies not established in France cannot register directly on the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF). Only a certified Accredited Platform (PA) enables them to meet their legal obligations.
Partner certified by the French tax authorities (DGFiP)
ASD Group works with an approved partner Accredited Platform certified by the French tax authorities (DGFiP). The compliance of each transmission is guaranteed.
Real-time transmission
e-Reporting data must be submitted periodically (within the legal deadlines depending on the reporting frequency). ASD Group ensures compliance with deadlines and archives each acknowledgement of receipt.
The French electronic invoicing reform will be rolled out in several phases. For foreign entities not established in France, the e-Reporting obligation will apply from the first phase. The effective date depends on the size of the company, not its nationality
1 September 2026
Large companies — 1st phase
e-Reporting obligation for large companies registered for VAT in France. Non-established entities are subject to this obligation from this date, with no size-based exemption.
Extension of the e-Reporting obligation to foreign non-resident companies classified as mid-sized companies (ETIs) and SMEs.
Immediate action required
Registration with an Accredited Platform (PA), setting up data flows and carrying out technical tests can take several weeks. Waiting until the last minute exposes your company to penalties from the first month.
