Country-aware checks
- Tax terminology: TVA
- Business ID label: Numéro de TVA intracommunautaire / SIREN / SIRET
- A French invoice needs its issue date, continuous unique number, sale or service date, seller and buyer identity, VAT identification when applicable, item or service details, quantity and unit price, VAT rate and amount, discounts, and totals excluding and including tax.
- French business supporting documents, including customer and supplier invoices, are generally retained for ten years from the close of the accounting year. Computer-issued or received invoices also have a six-year tax-format preservation rule described for the electronic-invoicing reform.
- France's phased domestic electronic-invoicing reform requires in-scope invoices to pass through an accredited platform; receipt begins for all businesses on 1 September 2026, with phased issuance dates. This generator does not route through an accredited platform or perform e-reporting.
