The electronic invoicing reform is a French legal obligation that progressively requires all businesses to issue and receive their invoices in a structured electronic format, via an Approved Platform (PA). Vestiaire Collective, as a platform facilitating your sales, must have valid tax identification information to continue processing your invoices in compliance with the law.
Who is affected by this reform?
All sellers based in France with a professional account on Vestiaire Collective are concerned.
If you are established outside France, the French reform does not directly apply to your business: however, we need your national tax identification number to fulfil our own reporting obligations.
Private sellers (C2C) are not affected by this reform.
By what date must I provide my information?
Vestiaire Collective must be compliant by 1 September 2026. Therefore, we need to have your up-to-date tax information before this date to continue processing your invoices without interruption. The timeline for when your own obligations come into effect depends on the size of your business. You can check it on the official tax administration website.
What information is required?
Vestiaire Collective must have the following information:
- If you are a business in France: your company name and your SIREN number
- If you are an individual with a declared activity in France: your first and last name as well as a SIREN number (self-employed, sole trader)
- If you are based outside France: your national tax identification number (NIF / Tax Identification Number)
What happens if I do not provide my tax information?
Failure to provide a valid tax identifier may result in:
- Your invoices being rejected by the Approved Platform
- Delays in processing your payments
- Your account being reclassified as a private account if your professional status cannot be verified
To ensure compliance and avoid disruptions, we invite you to update your tax information as soon as it is requested.
If you have questions regarding your tax obligations, we encourage you to consult a tax advisor or accountant for personalised advice.
