Start free

Free for 5 invoices a month. Pro from 8 € a month.

Set for France

Made for how France invoices.

VAT

20% is the standard rate. 10% covers restaurants, transport and renovation work, 5.5% food, books and energy-saving work, and 2.1% a few items such as reimbursed medicines and the press. Locally the tax is called TVA.

VAT ID

The intra-community TVA number is FR, two check characters and your nine-digit SIREN.

EUR and local dates

Amounts are in euros, and you can pick another currency on any invoice. A bank statement you upload is read the way banks in France write dates.

Financial year from 1 January

Invoice numbers start a new series each January, so the first invoice of the year is OG/2026/0001.

Not connected: the e-invoicing reform. France is moving invoices between VAT-registered businesses onto approved e-invoicing platforms in stages from September 2026. Openn Invoice is not one of those platforms.

What an invoice needs to show in France.

An invoice in France carries:

  1. An invoice number in a continuous series, and the date of issue
  2. Your name, address, SIREN or SIRET and TVA number
  3. Your customer’s name and address, and their TVA number when they must account for the tax
  4. The date of the sale or service
  5. For each line: description, quantity, unit price before tax and the TVA rate
  6. Totals before tax, TVA per rate and the total including tax
  7. On invoices to businesses: the due date, the late payment penalty rate and the €40 fixed recovery charge

FAQ

Questions from France.

Does Openn Invoice make a proper invoice for France?

Yes. Add your VAT ID in settings and each invoice is titled “Invoice”, with VAT worked out line by line at the rate you pick (20%, 10%, 5.5%, 2.1% and 0%) and totals in euros. What it has to show in France is listed on this page. Check with your accountant for your case.

Does it connect to the e-invoicing reform?

France is moving invoices between VAT-registered businesses onto approved e-invoicing platforms in stages from September 2026. Openn Invoice is not one of those platforms.

I am not registered for VAT. Can I still use it?

Yes. Leave the VAT ID empty in settings and send invoices with no VAT on them.

Can I bill customers outside France?

Yes. Pick the customer’s country and currency on the invoice. A VAT-registered customer in another EU country is billed under the reverse charge, with no VAT added. A customer outside the EU is billed as an export. You see the reason on the invoice before you send it.
