Whether you're expanding abroad from France or landing there as a global company, Light keeps every entity on one ledger.
PCG
Report under the Plan Comptable Général and group standards side by side with multibook, mapped to the French statutory chart.
TVA
Standard 20% and reduced 10%, 5.5%, and 2.1% rates applied via tax codes as transactions post, including autoliquidation (reverse charge).
E-invoicing mandate
France's B2B e-invoicing reform is phasing in from September 2026 — Light exchanges structured e-invoices so you're ready before the deadline.
French banking
Connect French bank accounts via host-to-host integration or bank feeds — transactions reconcile automatically, vendors get paid via SEPA.
TVA, from invoice to CA3
Light handles French VAT in the ledger — rates applied at posting, returns built continuously, the reform covered.
The déclaration de TVA is built continuously from posted transactions, every line traceable to underlying entries — review, approve, and file without spreadsheets in between.
From September 2026 all French businesses must receive structured e-invoices, with issuance following by size. Light sends and receives them natively, so invoices post as data with TVA codes already applied.
FEC files (Fichier des Écritures Comptables) export straight from the ledger — the format every French tax audit starts with.
Compliant with how France audits
French statutory requirements are built into the ledger, not bolted on.
FEC on demand
Generate compliant FEC exports directly from the ledger, mapped to the PCG chart.
Reform-ready
Structured e-invoicing ahead of the 2026–2027 mandate phases, for issuance and receipt.
Host-to-host banking
Direct connections with major French banks for statement collection and payment files at treasury-grade control.
One platform, every country you operate in
France is one of the many countries Light supports out of the box — same ledger, same close process, local requirements handled per entity.
