ZATCA refers to Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority and is the first phase of e-invoicing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where all businesses are required to begin its usage from December 4th 2021. ZATCA or e- invoicing helps processing of invoices, credit notes and debit notes in a structured electronic format.  

E-invoice Implementation in KSA 

E-invoice implementation helps business to function more securely and efficiently. Here the company data is combined with ZATCA to make the trading system more transparent. This phase mandates integration of ERP/POS systems and billing software with the ZATCA`s Fatoorah Portal. Confirming the e-invoices via ZATCA portal also helps identify fraudulent practices. This also assists tax officials in reducing the frequency of their audits.
