Understanding Saudi Arabia’s E-Invoicing Regulation (FATOORAH): A Regulatory Counsel Perspective

• Saudi Arabia is modernizing its tax infrastructure with the implementation of the E-Invoicing Regulation, known as “FATOORAH”
• The regulation aims to streamline invoicing processes, enhance tax compliance, and reduce tax evasion
• The scope of the regulation includes tax invoices, simplified tax invoices, and credit/debit notes for various transactions and entities
• The regulation applies to resident taxable persons and third parties issuing invoices on their behalf
• The implementation of e-Invoicing is divided into two main phases: Generation Phase and Integration Phase
• Upcoming compliance deadlines target taxpayers with an annual income between SAR 7 million and SAR 10 million
• B2C transactions are covered through the requirement for simplified tax invoices for transactions below SAR 1,000
• Self-billing is restricted to cases where both parties are VAT-registered and not permitted for simplified tax invoices or imports of goods.
