How to send electronic invoices using the France e-Invoicing & e-Reporting integration in Mews Operations

France is introducing a mandatory e-invoicing reform that requires businesses to send structured electronic invoices through an approved government-connected platform. If your property is established and VAT-registered in France, you need to set up the France e-Invoicing & e-Reporting integration in Mews Operations to stay compliant. Once approved, Mews starts fiscalizing all eligible bills and invoices for your company. Sending invoices as a PDF by email is no longer compliant under the reform.

You do this before your compliance deadline, 1 September 2026 for large enterprises and mid-sized companies, and 1 September 2027 for small and medium-sized enterprises and micro-enterprises.

Note: The French Fiscal Registry integration covers domestic B2B and B2G transactions only. B2C structured invoice exchange with consumers is not required under the reform and is handled separately through e-reporting.
