With the confirmation of our PDP status registration, Basware is fully equipped to support businesses operating in France with a comprehensive suite of compliant e-invoicing solutions and services for 2026 and beyond.
As global tax authorities continue to modernize their systems, e-invoicing mandates are rapidly becoming a reality for businesses worldwide. These regulations aim to combat tax fraud, enhance transparency, and improve efficiency in tax collection. At Basware, we are proud to announce that we have successfully received Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) status registration from the French government—solidifying our role in France as a trusted, full-service partner in global e-invoicing compliance.
This achievement is not just a milestone in France; it represents our 40-year strategic commitment to providing comprehensive solutions that meet the growing demand for digital tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
A global movement: e-invoicing mandates on the rise
France is just one of many countries moving towards mandatory e-invoicing, but it is certainly among the most significant. The trend towards electronic invoicing is gaining momentum across the globe, from Europe to Latin America to Asia. Countries like Italy, Mexico, Brazil, and India have already implemented their own e-invoicing regulations, and many others are following suit. This global shift reflects a broader trend towards digitalization in tax administration, with governments seeking to streamline VAT collection, reduce tax evasion, and foster greater transparency in business transactions.
Each country's approach varies in terms of implementation timelines, technical requirements, and reporting obligations, making compliance a complex challenge for multinational companies. This is why businesses need a robust and flexible partner like Basware that can adapt to different regulatory frameworks while ensuring full compliance.
France: a key player with one of the most complex mandates
France’s e-invoicing mandate stands out as one of the most comprehensive and complex in Europe. Set to roll out between 2026 and 2027, the French system requires all B2B invoices to be processed through certified platforms, known as Plateformes de Dématérialisation Partenaires (PDPs). In addition to the electronic submission of invoices, businesses must also meet stringent e-reporting requirements to ensure that all VAT-related information is communicated to the French tax authorities in real time.
Navigating this mandate requires deep expertise in regulatory compliance, as well as a thorough understanding of the technical and security standards set by the French tax authority, the Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP). Achieving PDP status is a significant endorsement of Basware’s capabilities and dedication to delivering cutting-edge compliance solutions globally.
