  • Parliamentary Rejection: On April 11, 2025, the National Assembly rejected an amendment that proposed postponing the French Continuous Transaction Control (CTC) mandate, confirming that the original timeline will remain in effect.
  • Key Dates for Implementation: The CTC mandate requires all companies to be ready to receive e-invoices by September 1, 2026, with large and intermediate companies also required to issue e-invoices by that date. This timeline may be extended to December 1, 2027, via a decree.
  • Subsequent Compliance Requirement: By September 1, 2027, small, medium, and micro companies will be obligated to issue e-invoices, with a possible extension until December 1, 2028, as determined by decree.
