Factur-X is a French e-invoice format that complies with the European standard EN 16931.
Think of it as a hybrid invoice:
- Human-readable PDF (what finance teams are used to)
- Machine-readable XML embedded inside the PDF (what tax authorities and systems need)
EN 16931 is the EU-wide semantic standard for electronic invoices.
It defines:
- Which data fields must be included (seller, buyer, VAT, totals, line items, etc.)
- How those fields must be structured and interpreted
- How VAT information is reported consistently across Europe
It ensures invoices are machine-readable, interoperable, and tax-compliant across EU member states.
