ZATCA Announces Criteria for Wave 18 of E-Invoicing Integration
The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has identified the criteria for taxpayers included in the 18th wave of the "Integration Phase" of e-invoicing. This wave targets businesses with VAT-subject revenues exceeding SAR 2 million during 2022 or 2023.
Targeted taxpayers will need to integrate their e-invoicing solutions with the Fatoora platform by 31 August 2025. Phase Two, known as the Integration Phase, introduces stricter requirements, including platform integration, specific invoice formats, and additional invoice fields.
ZATCA emphasized that the phased rollout of the Integration Phase supports Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation and builds on the success of Phase One, which began in December 2021. Phase One achieved significant milestones, such as eliminating manual invoices and enhancing consumer protection.
For detailed requirements, ZATCA advises taxpayers to prepare well ahead of their integration deadlines.
