Question 1455 — businesses

Summary

Ms. Anne Le Hénanff alerts the Minister to the Prime Minister, responsible for the budget and public accounts, about the free generalized electronic invoicing. In accordance with article 91 of the finance law for 2024 (law no. 2023-1322 of December 29, 2023), the deployment of electronic invoicing will take place gradually, namely from September 1, 2026; businesses will need to be able to receive invoices dematerialized and large companies and ETIs will also be required to issue dematerialized invoices. These same prerogatives will apply to SMEs and microenterprises from September 1, 2027. According to the ministry, electronic invoicing will concern all operations of purchases and sales of goods or services carried out between companies established in France and subject to VAT, with the objectives of improving payment times, rationalizing invoicing circuits but also simplifying relationships between the tax administration and professional users. This process is supposed to take place via the free public platform solution Chorus Pro. However, in a press release dated October 15, 2024, the Ministry of the Economy and Finance seems to call the use of this platform into question. If the paid electronic invoice is not strictly mentioned in the said press release, it clearly mentions a list of 70 certified partner dematerialization platforms but above all paying. There is no mention of the Chorus Pro platform. If the use of the free Chorus Pro platform is no longer envisaged, this would be a renunciation of the commitment made by the ministry, de facto creating a new financial burden for all French companies. Also, the MP would like to obtain clarification as to whether or not it is possible to use the free Chorus Pro platform. If, as the press release implies, only paid solutions are chosen as solutions, it wishes to question the Government on the financial burden that this would represent for companies, in particular SMEs and microenterprises. Finally, if this is the case, she would like to know the reasons why the use of the Chorus Pro platform was ultimately not chosen.
