The French e-reporting framework complements e-invoicing by capturing B2C, cross-border B2B and certain payment transactions through Flow 10 (F10). Flow 6 (F6) confirms acceptance or rejection of the reporting file. Reporting frequency and deadlines vary by VAT regime, with standard monthly taxpayers submitting transaction data three times a month and payment data once, all due 10 days after each period.
