France has officially announced the details of its long-awaited electronic invoicing pilot, which will take place ahead of the e-invoicing mandate set for September 2026. This pilot program will give businesses and accredited platforms their first chance to test the new clearance ecosystem using actual transactional data. It is scheduled to run from late February to the end of August 2026 and aims to smoothly transition into mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting starting on September 1, 2026.

The framework, released by the French tax administration (Direction Générale des Finances Publiques), marks a significant shift from theoretical preparation to practical implementation. There is a strong focus on ensuring readiness for real-world operations instead of merely conducting simulations.
