Free checklist
Is your software ready for French e-invoicing?
16 things to check, written by a developer from the French tax authority’s own texts — not by a vendor selling a platform. One page, to tick on screen or print for your finance and IT leads.
What the checklist covers
- Receiving: the 4 checks that have been mandatory since 1 September 2026
- Issuing: formats, new mandatory fields and customer data
- E-reporting: what never goes through an invoice but still has to be reported
- Your software: the inventory nobody does, and the one that costs the most
Who it is for
SME owners, finance directors and IT leads with an ERP, invoicing software or an in-house application between their sales and their invoices.
Written by Michael Klingensmith, a .NET developer for 25 years, much of it on banking systems where data has to be right the first time. It is the list my compliance diagnostic starts from.
