Moving to e-invoicing is no longer an option for businesses – it’s an obligation. Mandatory e-invoicing legislation is on the rise globally, driving the transition from paper or PDF invoices to structured e-invoicing. France is one of the next countries in line, as e-invoicing will become mandatory for all domestic B2B transactions between 2026 & 2027, depending on company size. Plus, as a company, you must use a registered private provider (PDP) to comply with the mandate and exchange data with the tax authority platform.

As a key player in the French invoicing market, Esker meets all requirements to comply with the French mandate and has been officially registered as a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) for e-invoicing, by French tax authorities (registration number: 0005). Esker's platform is able to communicate and exchange data (e-invoicing, e-reporting and status files) with the French public platform (PPF) and other registered providers (PDP). Additionally, Esker supports all mandatory formats for e-invoicing (UBL, UNCEFACT/CII and Factur-X) and most of businesses cases.

Esker actively participates in public consultation workshops led by local tax authorities (DGFIP, AFNOR & AIFE) to remain updated on industry evolutions and provide up-to-date information to its customers.
