ZATCA initiates Procedures for Implementing Phase II of E-invoicing Project
Riyadh July 27, 2022:
Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) clarified that it has started the procedures for implementing Phase II (Integration Phase) of E-invoicing. This phase aims to integrate E-invoicing solutions of taxpayers with ZATCA’s platform -FATOORA, where the authority will inform targeted taxpayers to complete procedures for implementing the second phase.
ZATCA has revealed that the implementation of Phase II of the E-invoicing project will begin on January 1, 2023, with selected taxpayers in the first wave. The selection was based on the revenue subject to VAT for the year of 2021 exceeding 3 billion SAR.
ZATCA stated that Phase II requires additional requirements, the most prominent being the integration of taxpayer’s E-invoicing solutions with FATOORA, issuance of electronic invoices in a specific format, and inclusion of additional fields in the invoice. Furthermore, the procedure of E-invoicing would occur gradually in waves, and ZATCA would inform the requirements directly at least six months prior to the integration date.
