Keep this run. CSV export of this scenario for your board paper or your expert-comptable, plus a browser alarm set on your issuance date.

$60 once · one licence key per person or team seat · A French expert-comptable bills €100–€250 an hour for advisory work (Companeo and Hayot Expertise 2026 fee guides). The calculation above stays free and unlimited.

Your issuance date, not the headline date
A GE or ETI had to start issuing on 1 September 2026; a PME or TPE starts 1 September 2027. The tool picks your date from your size and counts the days left, or the days you are already past.

Reception overdue counter
Reception of Factur-X, UBL and CII through a PDP has been mandatory for every French VAT-registered business since 1 September 2026, with no size waiver. The tool counts how many days you have been past that.

Both fines with their statutory caps
€15 per invoice that should have been electronic and €500 per missed e-reporting transmission, each capped at €15,000 per year. The tool applies each cap separately and shows the uncapped figure so you can see the gap.

The €250 to €500 e-reporting change
The original text set €250 per missed transmission; the 2026 Finance Act raised it to €500. The rate is a switch, so you can price both readings instead of trusting one number a chatbot gave you.

CSV export of the scenario (paid)
Writes your inputs, both fines, the caps and the dates to a CSV row you can keep, attach to a board paper or hand to your expert-comptable. Unlocked by the $60 licence key.

Deadline alarm (paid)
Sets a browser alarm for your issuance date so the 1 September 2027 PME cut-off does not arrive unnoticed. Unlocked by the same $60 licence key.
