Things to know in France
For renovation work on homes more than two years old, the 10% or 5.5% VAT rates can apply. Keep the customer attestation where required.
Micro-entrepreneurs under the VAT franchise must print "TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI" — choose that preset.
France is phasing in mandatory B2B e-invoicing from September 2026 (receiving) with small businesses issuing from 2027. PDF invoices remain fine for private customers.

Which currency and date format are used?

Can I send the invoice by WhatsApp?
Yes. QuoteCraft creates a PDF and opens your phone’s share sheet, so you can send it by WhatsApp, email, SMS or any other app.
