- Platform Registration: Over 70 digital platforms have been provisionally registered by the DGFiP, indicating strong interest and readiness from the ecosystem for this reform.
- Support and Infrastructure: The government is developing a recipient directory and a data hub to facilitate exchanges between platforms and ensure data transmission to tax authorities.
- Ongoing Collaboration: The administration will continue to work closely with key stakeholders, including digital platforms, professional federations, and software providers, to ensure a smooth transition.
