Use this page when you need a client invoice for Saudi Arabia that follows the local VAT shape. The practical goal is a document with seller and buyer details, a clear supply description, a VAT line, and totals that a client can process without asking for missing tax information. Saudi Arabia uses VAT, and the standard VAT rate is 15% for taxable supplies that are not zero-rated or exempt.
The invoice also needs to match the Saudi format expectations around language and currency. Saudi VAT tax invoices must be issued in Arabic, in addition to any other language used on the invoice. The VAT amount payable on a Saudi tax invoice must be shown in Saudi riyals, even if other commercial amounts are also presented in another currency.
A full Saudi tax invoice must carry a sequential invoice number, the issue date, and the supply date when the supply date differs from the issue date. It must show the supplier's name, address, and tax identification number. Buyer details also matter, including the customer's name, address, and tax identification number where the customer is accountable for VAT.
Line items need enough detail to support the VAT calculation. A full tax invoice must describe the goods or services supplied and show the taxable amount by rate or exemption, unit price excluding VAT, discounts or rebates, VAT rate, and VAT amount due. A useful service line reads like: Consulting services for March, quantity 10 hours, unit price SAR 300, VAT rate 15%, VAT amount SAR 450.
A simplified tax invoice may be used for qualifying low-value supplies not exceeding SAR 1,000, subject to the exclusions in the VAT regulations. That document still needs the issue date, supplier name, address and tax identification number, a description of the goods or services, consideration payable, and either the VAT payable or a statement that the consideration includes VAT.
Saudi Arabia also has mandatory e-invoicing under ZATCA. Phase 1 requires VAT taxpayers, except non-resident taxpayers, and parties issuing tax invoices on their behalf to generate and store tax invoices and notes through compliant electronic solutions from December 4, 2021. Phase 2 began on January 1, 2023 in taxpayer waves and requires integration with ZATCA systems after ZATCA gives at least six months' notice.
A one-off invoice works when you have a small sale, a fixed service fee, and all Saudi tax fields ready before billing. It is enough for a single PDF or internal draft when the seller still checks Arabic text, VAT treatment, SAR VAT totals, and ZATCA obligations before issuing the official invoice.
A managed workflow becomes more useful when billable work changes by person, project, date, or task. Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, preserves dated rate history, and can price billable projects by project, member, or custom task rate before invoice preparation.

Saudi Arabia uses value added tax, and the standard VAT rate is 15% for taxable supplies that are not zero-rated or exempt. A tax invoice should show the VAT rate and VAT amount due for the taxable supply. The VAT amount payable on a Saudi tax invoice must be shown in Saudi riyals.
Saudi VAT tax invoices must be issued in Arabic, in addition to any other language used on the invoice. A bilingual invoice can include English for client convenience, but the Arabic version is required for the Saudi VAT tax invoice. Keep tax labels, item descriptions, and party details consistent across both languages.
A full Saudi tax invoice must show the customer's name, address, and tax identification number where the customer is accountable for VAT. The supplier side must show the supplier's name, address, and tax identification number. Missing party identifiers create review problems when the buyer needs the invoice for VAT records.

Everhour separates cost rates from billable rates, so internal labor cost and client-facing revenue stay distinct. Teams can use per-person default rates, per-project overrides, dated rate changes, and project, member, or custom task rates before preparing invoices for client work.
Everhour can generate invoices from uninvoiced time and expenses, using project or member rates while excluding non-billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown before export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Set cost and billable rates by person, project, task, and effective date so recurring client invoices start from accurate Everhour billing.
