Sovos has been officially registered as an accredited Plateforme Agréée (PA) by the French Tax Authority (DGFIP), marking a significant milestone in supporting France’s upcoming mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting mandate. This accreditation follows successful completion of rigorous application requirements and comprehensive interoperability testing with the Public Portal of Invoicing (Portail Public de Facturation).

PA accreditation is required for any service provider that will transmit electronic invoices between businesses and report transaction data to the French tax authorities under the new mandate. As an accredited platform, Sovos is authorized to exchange structured invoices with other certified platforms, manage invoice lifecycle statuses, update the Central Directory of electronic addresses, and transmit mandatory data flows to the tax administration.

Having secured PA accreditation, Sovos will participate in the upcoming pilot phase launching in late February 2026, which will allow users to gain early operational experience with the new framework ahead of the mandatory compliance deadline in September 2026.
