What is ZATCA E-Invoicing?
The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) in Saudi Arabia has mandated electronic invoicing for all taxable businesses. This means every invoice you issue must be generated electronically and comply with specific technical requirements.
Phase 1 vs Phase 2
Phase 1 (Generation): Businesses must generate and store invoices electronically using a compliant system. Handwritten and photocopied invoices are no longer accepted.
Phase 2 (Integration): Invoices must be shared with ZATCA in near real-time. The system must include a QR code with specific data fields.
Key Requirements
- UUID for each invoice
- QR code with seller info, VAT number, timestamp, and total
- Tamper-resistant invoice storage
- Arabic language support on invoices
- Sequential invoice numbering
