Despite rapid growth and evolution in the private sector, the Tax Invoice System remains a challenging aspect of financial compliance for many businesses in Saudi Arabia today. Much of this unease centers around the fear of electronic systems crashing—something that frequently happens in the KSA.
Whether you are a small startup or a large established firm, maintaining accurate and tax-compliant invoices is not only a requirement but also a fundamental necessity. This is especially true in Saudi Arabia, where the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has been active since 2018 in Tax for failing to issue proper invoices. These penalties can take many forms, and we will cover some of them shortly.
CBD Accounting for Financial Consulting in KSA provides the specialized assistance needed to set up, check, and keep running a compliant Tax Invoice System compliant with the most recent rules laid down by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).
Our specialist services can simplify invoicing, eliminate regulatory risks, and guarantee financial transparency for your business. Let’s investigate.
A Tax Invoice is a document issued by a VAT-registered supplier to its customer. It provides key information about the goods or services supplied, the applicable VAT, and other legally required details.

There are two types of tax invoices in KSA, depending on what kind of transaction it is:

ZATCA issued the e-invoicing mandate under the Fatoora regulations. The system is being implemented in two phases. According to the mandate and the regulatory authorities, all businesses registered under VAT must follow and implement the system.
B2C transactions use simplified invoices; B2B transactions use standard invoices that must have more detailed information.
According to ZATCA regulations, invoices must be preserved and stored securely for at least six years.
