- The French tax authority DGFiP updated Platform Dematerialisation Partners (PDPs) on e-invoicing reform on November 5, 2024.

- The Y model remains in place, requiring companies to send e-invoices and report transactions to DGFiP via the PPF using a PDP.
- The PPF will now only provide recipient directory and data concentration services, dropping the free e-invoice exchange due to delays.
