10 simplifications on French e-invoicing
The French Ministry of Finance has announced 10 measures to simplify the e-invoicing and e-reporting rules for 2026–2027.

Here are some of the key measures:
- Non-EU transactions between taxable persons established in France are excluded from e-reporting
- Invoice line data is no longer required in e-reporting for international acquisitions

South Africa digital reporting and e-invoicing
On August 16, the National Treasury and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) released a bill in support of the SARS VAT Modernization Project. The bill includes the introduction of e-invoicing and e-reporting.
The bill outlines three key aspects of the proposed model:
- E-invoice definition: A tax invoice that must be issued, transmitted, and received in a structured electronic format that enables automatic processing.
- E-reporting definition: The electronic submission of tax data extracted from e-invoices, e-debit notes, and e-credit notes to SARS.
- Interoperability framework: A model using a network of service providers to enable the exchange of structured documents (e-invoices, e-debit notes, e-credit notes), facilitating clearance and interoperability between suppliers and recipients.
SARS will likely opt for a 5-corner Peppol model. This model emerged as the preferred Continuous Transaction Control model in other countries like Belgium and France.

According to the mandate, businesses in these sectors must:
- Collect complete buyer information for every transaction
- Issue individual e-invoices rather than consolidated ones
- Ensure their systems are ready to comply by January 1, 2026
