Monaco requires an invoice for every transaction between professionals, and allows invoices to be sent electronically if the recipient accepts and an electronic signature guarantees their origin and content. Klarbon has not found an official Monegasque source that makes e-invoicing mandatory.
This page summarises the Princely Government's Mon Entreprise page on obligatory invoice notices, last updated on 28 July 2026 and checked on 5 November 2026. It is not tax advice; your expert-comptable can tell you how the rules apply to you.
