e-Invoicing phase II in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Electronic invoicing is a procedure that seeks to digitalize the process of exchanging bills in a structured electronic format between buyer and seller via a unified process, as opposed to the old practise of sending paper invoices. E-invoicing also gives real-time invoicing data to the government, assisting in the closure of revenue gaps.


Applicability of the mandate to generate e-Invoices


The e-Invoicing laws require all natural or legal persons who engage out economic activity and are registered for VAT in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or are needed to be registered for VAT in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to create e-Invoices and comply with the e-Invoicing requirements. As a result, the following taxpayer categories would be covered by e-Invoicing:


  • A taxable individual or business who is a resident of the Kingdom,
  • According to the VAT Implementing Regulation, the customer or any third party that sends a tax invoice on behalf of a taxable person who is a resident in KSA.


For the purposes of VAT rules, taxpayers who are not residents of the KSA are not required to produce electronic invoices for supplies or sums received that are subject to tax in the KSA.


The documents covered under the scope of e-Invoicing


E-Invoices (tax invoices) are required for all VAT-exempt transactions, whereas electronic (debit and credit) notes are required for the following transactions:


  • Cancellation or suspension of supply following its occurrence, either entirely or partially.
  • In the event of a material modification or revision to the supply that results in a change in the VAT amount,
  • Changes to the pre-agreed-upon supply value between the provider and the customer,
  • In the event of a product return or a reimbursement for services.
