Why this matters for France trades
Facturation électronique is becoming mandatory via approved platforms (PDP) — reception for all businesses from 1 September 2026, issuance for SMEs and micro-entreprises from 1 September 2027; assurance décennale (Loi Spinetta) is legally mandatory before a worksite opens, with a criminal penalty for working uninsured; TVA is multi-rate (20% standard, 10% renovation, 5.5% energy); RGE certification is commercially essential for clients to claim MaPrimeRénov’ and other subsidies; business registration runs through the CMA/guichet unique; and regulated trades require a qualification (diploma or three years’ experience).
French artisan (bâtiment) vendor selection is shaped by the incoming facturation électronique mandate (reception for all businesses from 1 September 2026, issuance for SMEs/micro from 1 September 2027, via approved PDP platforms), mandatory ten-year assurance décennale under the Loi Spinetta, multi-rate TVA (20/10/5.5%), RGE certification for subsidised renovation work, and the micro-entrepreneur regime that most solo tradespeople operate under.
