Since 2023, ZATCA has brought taxpayers into the integration phase in successive waves, lowering the revenue threshold each time.

Waves are set by VAT-able revenue

What it means

Notified businesses must generate structured XML invoices with a cryptographic stamp and share them with ZATCA, either before issue or within 24 hours depending on the invoice type.
