Digital Taxation in Saudi Arabia: How to implement E-invoicing with minimum effort and cost

Committed to its efforts in combating commercial and tax fraud while protecting consumers, the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) in Saudi Arabia has introduced the mandatory implementation of e-invoicing to be fully equipped and functional by December 4, 2021. This new regulation will offer security, transparency, and efficiency to Saudi residents.

The regulations specify the terms and conditions related to electronic invoices and electronic credit and debit notes. All regulations will require the same provisions related to VAT legislations. In addition, taxpayers should provide proof of electronic transactions and electronic signatures.

Who should comply to the e-invoicing regulations?

Any taxable resident in Saudi Arabia will have to issue and store e-invoices. This also applies to third parties who are issuing tax invoices on behalf of a taxable resident.

Subsequently, businesses should adopt digital tax accounting and reporting to meet the new compliance requirements.

When is the deadline?

December 4, 2021
