ZATCA and E-invoicing in KSA Brief


The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has introduced the e-invoicing system Fatoorah under the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). Fatoorah aims to transition from paper-based billing to electronic invoicing, making it mandatory for VAT-liable individuals and industries.


Purpose of Fatoorah Implementation


Fatoorah aims to:


  • Foster fair trade and competition
  • Safeguard consumers through a unified process
  • Prevent illicit transactions


Generation Phase Compliance


Implemented in two phases, Phase 1 began on December 4th, 2021. Taxable entities were required to electronically store invoices, bills, credit notes, and debit notes, ensuring compliance with Fatoorah. While submission on the FATOORAH portal wasn't mandatory, businesses were expected to make their systems E-invoicing compliant.


Integration Phase Expectations


The Integration Phase, starting January 1st, 2023, mandates taxable businesses to electronically generate and submit invoices for verification on the Fatoorah portal. Implementation occurs in waves, with taxpayers notified six months before their implementation date.


Essential Elements for Invoicing Solution


When submitting invoices for verification, the invoicing solution must generate essential elements, including:

  • UUID: Unique 128-digit number generated algorithmically
  • Cryptographic Stamp: Digital signature ensuring document authenticity
  • Identifier: Credential associated with the invoice and stamp
  • QR Code: Contains basic invoice data for easy scanning
