France B2B e-invoicing mandate goes live 1 September 2026

The French Finance Act enacted on 2 February 2026 confirmed 1 September 2026 as the mandatory date for B2B e-invoicing. From that date, every VAT-registered business in France must be able to receive e-invoices. Large and mid-sized companies must also issue them. SMEs and micro-enterprises must issue e-invoices by 1 September 2027. DGFiP ran a live pilot February through August 2026 to stress-test the infrastructure. Businesses choose between an approved platform ('plateforme agréée') or Chorus Pro for B2G. Certain invoice types like works contracts still require Chorus Pro only.

India EWB portal: Ship-To GSTIN becomes mandatory + voluntary EWB Closure facility live

GSTN Advisory dated 21 May 2026 rolled out two changes to the e-Way Bill system in production from 1 August 2026 (extended from original 15 June deadline). Change 1: Ship-To GSTIN is now mandatory in all IRN and EWB APIs when Ship-To information is present. Where the consignee is unregistered or the destination has no GSTIN (e.g. export ports), the value 'URP' must be entered. Blank Ship-To fields will trigger validation errors. Change 2: Voluntary EWB Closure facility introduced — suppliers, recipients, transporters or drivers (via mobile OTP) can formally close the e-Way Bill on the day of delivery or the next day. Previously EWBs simply expired. All ERP vendors, GSPs, ASPs and system integrators must complete configuration updates before 1 August 2026 or B2B/SEZ EWB generation will fail. Affects every Bill-To/Ship-To transaction, drop-shipping, and third-party fulfilment flow in India.

France retires 'PDP' — new official term is 'plateforme agréée'
