Who is concerned, and from when?
Every business established in France and subject to VAT. Since September 1, 2026, all of them must be able to receive electronic invoices, and large and mid-sized companies issue them. From September 1, 2027, SMEs and micro-businesses must in turn issue their invoices to French businesses electronically and report the data of their other sales (e‑reporting). A decree may still postpone this date to December 1, 2027 at the latest.
Do I need an accredited platform?
Yes. E-invoices and e‑reporting must go through a platform accredited by the French tax administration, chosen by each business. Nette Factures is a compatible solution: it connects to Super PDP, an accredited platform registered by the DGFiP, and sends your documents to it in your name. You create your Super PDP account from the app; the platform then verifies your business, which can take a few days.
What about my sales to consumers?
They don't get an e-invoice sent through a platform: their totals (amounts before tax and VAT, per day and per rate) are reported through e‑reporting, at the pace of your VAT regime. Nette Factures still issues a Factur-X invoice for every order, which you can give to your customer, then prepares and files the e‑reporting at each deadline. Sales to customers established abroad also go through e‑reporting.
I'm a micro-entrepreneur under the VAT franchise: am I concerned?
Yes. The VAT franchise exempts you from charging VAT, not from the reform: you must be able to receive e-invoices since September 1, 2026 and, from September 1, 2027, issue your invoices to businesses electronically and report your other sales every two months. Nette Factures supports this regime: your invoices carry the mention "TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI" and e‑reporting follows the two-month pace.
What happens to my invoices if I uninstall the app?
Issued invoices, credit notes and e-reports stay in our legal archive for 10 years, as French law requires, and cannot be changed. Before uninstalling, you can download every document as a Factur-X PDF and as XML. If you reinstall the app, your archive and numbering are back where they were. Otherwise you can ask us for an export throughout the retention period, with proof that you represent the business. Drafts and data only used to issue new documents are deleted 48 hours after you uninstall.
Does it work with my accountant?
Yes. Every invoice and credit note downloads as a Factur-X PDF, readable by anyone and carrying the structured data, and as CII XML (EN 16931 standard). These are the formats of the reform: your accountant can read them or import them into their software.
Is Nette Factures an accredited platform?
No. It is a compatible solution: it prepares your invoices, credit notes and e‑reporting from your Shopify orders, then sends them to your accredited platform, which delivers them to your customers and the tax administration. Nette Factures does not give tax advice: your VAT choices and returns remain yours, with your accountant.
What if I go over my plan?
Nothing stops: your invoices keep being issued, because issuing them is a legal obligation. The app suggests the plan that fits your volume, and the choice is yours.
