# Approved e-invoicing platformplateforme agréée

An approved platform is a provider registered by the French tax authority, for three renewable years, through which businesses send and receive e-invoices and report transaction data.

The former term “PDP” has been dropped. The tax authority lists around a hundred approved platforms on impots.gouv.fr.

The public invoicing portal acts as a directory and data hub; it does not replace an approved platform. A business that has not chosen one for receiving invoices faces, after formal notice, fines of €500 then €1,000 per three-month period.
