Invoicing in France
France charges 20% VAT and is moving to mandatory e-invoicing through certified platforms: large and mid-sized businesses since September 2026, small businesses from September 2027. Space Invoices supports standard French invoices today; e-invoicing through a certified partner platform is not yet live in production.
