INTERVIEW: Will Other Countries Start-Stop Like France?

The e-invoicing timetable for the coming months will stress-test most VAT, Finance and IT teams – and 2025 is a quiet year compared to 2026 (Belgium, Poland, Greece, Latvia, France...!).

Susie West, CEO, sharedserviceslink, just interviewed Kevin Ackeroyd, CEO at SOVOS. (Questions were not shared ahead of the interview, and no money changed hands.) In this short clip, Susie and Kevin discuss:

• Will ViDA be exported to Asia or other regions?
• What will the impact of ViDA be on e-invoicing worldwide?
• Do we need to get used to the start-stop-start that countries (i.e. France) deal out?
• Why are timelines so aggressive and will the pace of change pick up?
• What is the impact on my business if I’m not ready for e-invoicing?

Please use these interviews as part of your toolbox to assess providers – a key to getting a look behind the scenes. Susie’s next chat with an E-Invoicing Provider CEO will land in the coming weeks. If you would like her to ask a question on your behalf, please send your question to enquire@sharedserviceslink.com. We want to make sure that you, the potential buyer, are going into a contract with your eyes OPEN. Especially during this time of “panic-buying” and confusion.
