Use this page when you need to create and download an invoice for work billed to a Saudi customer or issued by a Saudi VAT taxpayer. The finished document should identify the supplier, buyer, invoice, supplied goods or services, taxable amounts, VAT treatment, and payment details clearly enough for bookkeeping and tax review.
Saudi Arabia uses VAT, and the standard VAT rate is 15% for taxable supplies that are not zero-rated or exempt. A tax invoice also has a language requirement: Saudi VAT tax invoices must be issued in Arabic, in addition to any other language used on the invoice. Treat the Arabic version as part of the invoice, not an optional translation.
A full Saudi tax invoice must show a sequential invoice number, issue date, and supply date when the supply date differs from the issue date. It must also show the supplier's name, address, and tax identification number. The customer's name, address, and tax identification number belong on the invoice where the customer is accountable for VAT.
Line items need enough detail to support the VAT calculation. Include a description of the goods or services, quantity, unit price excluding VAT, discounts or rebates, taxable amount by rate or exemption, VAT rate, and VAT amount due. The VAT amount payable must be shown in Saudi riyals, even if the commercial total also appears in another currency.
A downloaded invoice should match the transaction type before you send it. 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 simplified document still needs the issue date, supplier name, address and tax identification number, supply description, consideration payable, and either VAT payable or a statement that the consideration includes VAT.
Saudi Arabia also has mandatory e-invoicing for VAT taxpayers, except non-resident taxpayers, and parties issuing tax invoices on their behalf. Phase 1 requires electronic generation and storage 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 downloaded invoice is enough when the job is small, the rates are fixed, and the invoice does not need to connect back to tracked work. It works best for a single client, a clear service description, and a simple VAT treatment that your accounting process can store correctly afterward.
A managed workflow becomes useful when time, rates, costs, and invoice status need to stay connected. Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, and preserves dated rate changes so older reports keep their original calculations. That structure helps teams price billable work by project, member, or task before an invoice is prepared.

A Saudi Arabia tax invoice uses VAT, not sales tax. The standard VAT rate is 15% for taxable supplies that are not zero-rated or exempt. The invoice should show the VAT rate and VAT amount due for the relevant taxable lines, with the VAT amount payable shown in Saudi riyals.
Review the sequential invoice number, issue date, supply date if different, supplier identity, buyer identity, tax identification numbers, line descriptions, quantities, unit prices excluding VAT, discounts, taxable amounts, VAT rate, and VAT amount due. A missing buyer tax identification number matters where the customer is accountable for VAT.
A Saudi VAT tax invoice cannot rely on English only. It must be issued in Arabic, in addition to any other language used on the invoice. A bilingual invoice is acceptable when the Arabic content includes the required tax invoice details and matches the commercial information sent to the customer.
The VAT amount payable on a Saudi tax invoice must be shown in Saudi riyals. Commercial amounts can also appear in another currency when the parties need that for pricing or review, but the VAT amount itself needs a SAR figure for the tax invoice.
A downloaded document does not replace Saudi e-invoicing duties for covered VAT taxpayers. Phase 1 requires electronic generation and storage through compliant electronic solutions from December 4, 2021. Phase 2 requires integration with ZATCA systems after ZATCA notifies the taxpayer's wave at least six months in advance.
Everhour separates cost rates from billable rates so reports can calculate labor cost, revenue, and profit. Members can have default billable and cost rates, and individual projects can override those rates when a client agreement prices work differently.
Set project, member, or task rates before billing starts. Everhour keeps dated rate history connected to tracked work, so invoice amounts reflect the agreed pricing.
