On April 11, the French National Assembly voted on the Bill for the Simplification of Economic Life, which included Amendment 2019 – a key provision for the maintenance of the current e-invoicing rollout schedule.

The approval of the amendment confirms that the French e-invoicing mandate will proceed as planned, with the first phase set for September 2026 and the second phase following in September 2027.

This vote puts to rest recent speculation around potential delays. As a result, businesses operating in France should stay on course and continue preparing for the upcoming e-invoicing requirements.
