Saudi Arabia e-Invoicing Mandate

Prepare for Saudi Arabia’s ongoing e-invoicing rollout

Saudi Arabia’s FATOORA mandatory e‑invoicing programme introduced its first phase on 4 December 2021, while the second phase (Integration Phase) began on 1 January 2023 and continues to roll out in waves. The most significant recent development is the expansion of Phase 2 to progressively smaller businesses, with ZATCA continuing to announce new integration waves and deadlines throughout 2025 and 2026.

What will change in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia operates a clearance and reporting model managed by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).

  • Businesses must integrate their invoicing systems directly with the ZATCA FATOORA platform as they enter Phase 2 rollout waves
  • Invoices must meet strict technical requirements, including XML formats, UUIDs, QR codes, cryptographic stamps, and digital signatures
  • The latest rollout waves now include smaller VAT-registered businesses, with revenue thresholds continuing to decrease as adoption expands across the economy

Saudi Arabia’s direction is clear: increasing automation, real-time compliance, and tighter integration between business systems and tax reporting.
