The DGFiP's view from day one, and the road to ViDA 2030

David Khamouli of the DGFiP walks through where the reform stands as 1 September approaches, including:

• The single most urgent action right now: contracting with a reception platform
• The grace period for penalties on businesses genuinely in the process of becoming compliant
• What "neither a postponement nor a suspension" means for your planning, in plain terms

• Why every VAT-registered business in France needs to receive e-invoices from day one, whatever your size
• Why a PDF by email no longer counts, and which formats do (Factur-X, UBL, CII)
• What "in the process of becoming compliant" needs to look like to actually benefit from the tolerance period

• Issuing through an approved platform, plus e-reporting for B2C and cross-border transactions
• The invoice lifecycle statuses your AP and AR teams need to understand now, not after go-live
• Why near real-time visibility for the tax administration means clean data today avoids disputes later

• Connecting your ERP or POS to an approved platform through APIs, without disrupting existing workflows
• Receiving, issuing, validating, routing and reporting invoices from one dashboard
• A realistic path to readiness when you're counting days, not months

Bring the scenario that's actually keeping your finance, tax or IT team up at night. David Khamouli (DGFiP) and the ClearTax team take live questions, side by side.

If your business issues or receives even a single invoice in France, yes. It's built for CFOs and finance directors, tax and compliance leads, AP/AR and shared services teams, and IT and ERP owners, anyone who owns the risk when the reception obligation applies on 1 September 2026. Whatever your company's size, if you're VAT-registered in France, this applies to you.

David Khamouli of the DGFiP walks through where the reform stands as the deadline approaches: the most urgent action to take now, how the penalty grace period works, and what "neither a postponement nor a suspension" means in practice. ClearTax then covers the reception and issuing obligations, accepted formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII), the invoice lifecycle statuses your teams need to know, and a realistic path to readiness when you're counting days, not months.
