Erpisto #1 E-invoicing Fatoorah Saudi Arabia The General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has produced a Guide on Invoicing and Records Keeping Requirements. Businesses should welcome the publication of this guidance because it clarifies invoicing requirements for both full and simplified tax invoices, as well as the necessity to retain records for VAT purposes in KSA.
Erpisto #1 E-invoicing Fatoorah Saudi Arabia
Erpisto is working on a full English translation of the guide, which is currently available in Arabic on the GAZT website. However, the following are some of the main points covered in the Guide:
- A tax invoice does not have to follow any certain structure or format, but the guide specifies that it must meet all of the requirements outlined in the VAT Implementing Regulations in order to be legal. It is not necessary to sign or stamp the invoice, however, it is preferable to do so.
- When a taxable supply is made, a simplified tax invoice must be given, but a “full” tax invoice is not necessary. A supply to a non-registered individual would be an example of this.
- It is a legal necessity that the tax invoice is written in Arabic. Furthermore, the e-invoicing fatoorah Saudi Arabia can be translated into any other language, but it will be considered a translation only, and the content in Arabic will be considered official.
- 1234 is a number that can be written in a variety of ways.
- In line with the Agreement and the Law, if a currency other than Saudi Riyal is used in a transaction, the VAT amount should be translated to Saudi Riyal using the daily rate provided by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority on the date that the relevant supply occurs.
- A sequential number that uniquely identifies the tax invoice must be included on all tax invoices. A taxable person’s multiple branches can utilize a separate stream of sequential numbers as long as the invoice number can be readily identifiable within the series and proven to be unique.
- The legal name of the supplier as shown on his registration certificate must be included in the supplier data on the invoice. It is not permissible to use a “trade” name. The supplier’s Tax Identification Number must also be included on the invoice. The need of providing a correct Tax Identification Number will be emphasized because it will allow the consumer to check the status of the company’s VAT registration.
- The amount of VAT due on the tax invoice should be presented in Saudi Riyal and rounded to the nearest Halalah if necessary in E-invoicing fatoorah Saudi Arabia. The rounded figures should match the figures used for VAT filing.
- Any such Tax invoice must be issued and sent to the customer by the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which the Supply occurred (on paper or electronically).
Special instructions are also given on how to issue tax bills in certain situations, such as:
- Conditions that allow a third party to issue invoices on a supplier’s behalf;
- Invoices issued under the profit margin plan; self-billing invoices
- Tax invoices in summary; and
- Notes of credit and debit
Businesses should begin checking their tax e-invoicing fatoorah Saudi Arabia, credit notes, and record-keeping practices to ensure that they are in compliance with the Guide’s recommendations. This evaluation could be part of a larger effort to determine whether the current governance and controls system is fit for purpose and to analyze the VAT compliance process during the first six months of VAT.
All provisions that apply to tax invoices, including the rules for keeping (storing) tax invoices stipulated in VAT legislation, including specifically Article (66) of the VAT Implementing Regulation, shall apply to electronic invoices if the Electronic Invoice is considered a tax invoice in accordance with the provisions of the VAT Law and its Implementing Regulation.
