ONESOURCE | E-INVOICING
A compliant e-invoicing solution, purpose-built for VAT in Saudi Arabia
Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) becomes mandatory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Phase 1 coming into effect from 4 December 2021.
Under this first phase of the new regime, taxpayers must be able to generate and store Tax Invoices as well as Credit / Debit Notes electronically using a fully compliant software system. As this is a 2 phase process companies must ensure they are compliant from the start.
Is your business ready?
From 4 December 2021, all impacted taxpayers must comply with the following requirements for Phase 1.
Phase 2 is set to be launched early 2023.
Requirement 2
Use a compliant e-invoicing solution:
Your technology must meet the requirements and specifications published under the e-invoicing laws and regulations issued by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).
Requirement 4
e-invoices must include the required additional fields:
- Tax Invoices must include the buyer’s VAT registration number if the buyer is a registered VAT taxpayer, in addition to the invoice type description as a title. A QR code can be added (this is optional).
- Simplified Tax Invoices must include a compliant QR code, in addition to the invoice type description as a title.
