Stay Ahead Briefing: ViDA is live.

78% of organisations still have no transition program.

Live Event Date: Thursday December 3rd, 2026

Live Event Time: 14:00 GMT | 15:00 CET

Hosted by Thomson Reuters

The EU’s VAT in the Digital Age reform (ViDA) is already driving mandates in several markets, with the cross-border requirements following in 2030. Yet only 22% of organisations have a formal transition program, even though 86% say they know ViDA. Join Thomson Reuters Regulatory Affairs, the Thomson Reuters Institute and Deloitte to see where readiness breaks down and what a working program requires.

The biggest worry among the finance, IT and operations professionals we surveyed isn’t fines. It’s invoices that get rejected and go unpaid, which puts cash flow and customer relationships at stake. This session starts with what the ViDA Readiness report found, then moves to the part most programs get wrong: who owns the work, and in what order it gets done.

From the readiness gap to a working program

The gap in the numbers: Why awareness is high and readiness drops once planning begins, and what rejected invoices mean for cash flow
Where organisations stumble: Master data, KYC and system integration, where confidence falls first
Who owns it: How finance, IT and operations split responsibility, and how that changes the order of work
How to phase it: What a realistic roadmap looks like, in months rather than quarters
Where programs stall: The decisions that hold teams up, such as systems or process first, and centralized or federated
Your questions: Post them in the chat as we go. We’ll answer as many as time allows live and follow up on the rest by email.

Who’s it for?

Leaders in Tax, Finance, IT and Operations responsible for e-invoicing and digital reporting readiness, whether you haven’t started a program yet, are stuck between exploring and deciding, or are trying to get other functions on board.
