E-invoicing support in France, Luxembourg and the European Union
Is your company subject to electronic invoicing requirements in France, Luxembourg, or for its operations within the European Union? VAT Solutions supports you at every stage: mapping and analysing your VAT flows, identifying your electronic invoicing obligations, configuring your electronic invoicing processes, selecting the appropriate platform, and supporting you throughout the implementation process.
Electronic Invoicing : Get ahead of the transition. Secure your flows. Simplify your compliance.
As part of the European Union’s ViDA (“VAT in the Digital Age”) reform, the EU is progressively moving towards the digitalisation of VAT obligations, notably through the widespread adoption of electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) and the introduction of digital reporting requirements (DRR) for cross-border transactions.
Several Member States are already anticipating these developments by introducing their own national frameworks, each with its own timeline and specific requirements.
In France, the reform concerning the transmission of structured electronic invoices (e-invoicing) in Factur-X, UBL and CII formats, as well as the transmission of transaction and payment data (e-reporting) via an accredited platform, is being phased in progressively from 1 September 2026.
Luxembourg plans to progressively introduce electronic invoicing in UBL and CII formats via the PEPPOL network, starting on 1 January 2028 for domestic B2B transactions carried out by certain taxable persons.

For businesses, these developments raise a number of important questions: Which transactions are affected? What are the applicable deadlines? Which invoice formats are accepted? What data must be transmitted? What information must be included in the invoice data? How can these requirements be translated into information systems?
VAT SOLUTIONS supports you at every stage of the project, from the initial audit and VAT compliance assessment to technical integration and the selection of the most suitable solutions.
Our Step-by-Step Electronic Invoicing Support
Client meeting
We
start with a discussion with your teams and, where applicable, your systems
integrator, to understand your organisation, invoicing processes and
information systems. We identify, in particular, your activities (goods,
services or a combination of both), your customer profiles (B2B, B2C), as well
as your domestic, intra-EU and international flows and your right to deduct
VAT. We provide a detailed overview of the approach so that it can be
coordinated with your internal teams or systems integrator.
VAT
mapping
We
establish or review your VAT mapping to identify, for each flow, the
applicable VAT treatment and the related obligations. This mapping covers, in
particular: the VAT treatment (including exemptions, reverse charge mechanisms,
etc.), reporting obligations, information to be included on invoices, as well
as the documents and supporting evidence that must be retained.
Based on the VAT mapping, we analyse each flow to identify transactions subject to specific requirements relating to electronic invoicing, e-reporting of transaction and/or payment data, or data transmission. We also determine the applicable requirements depending on the country concerned and the relevant deadlines, particularly in France, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as in the context of the European developments related to ViDA.
Based on the VAT mapping, we define the rules required for configuration, including the nature of the transactions (goods, services or mixed activities), the applicable VAT categories and VATEX codes relating to exemption or reverse-charge regimes. These parameters ensure reliable VAT treatment and the accuracy and compliance of the data required for electronic invoicing. Upon request, we can also review the first invoices generated and the related VAT returns to identify and implement any final adjustments that may be required.
We support you in assessing and selecting your electronic invoicing platform, taking into account your transaction flows, VAT obligations, international activities and information systems. Our expertise helps ensure that the selected solution addresses both your tax requirements and your operational and technical constraints.
We work alongside systems integrators to help them understand and correctly implement the configuration rules defined. Upon request, we can also provide support during the testing phases.
