Use this page to prepare an invoice for goods or services supplied in Saudi Arabia, especially when the buyer expects a clear tax invoice rather than a casual payment request. The invoice should name the supplier and customer, describe the supply, set out the amounts, and show the VAT treatment in a way that a finance team can approve without follow-up.
Saudi Arabia uses VAT at a 15% standard rate for taxable supplies that are not zero-rated or exempt. A tax invoice also needs Arabic text, even if you include English or another language for the customer's convenience. Treat Arabic fields as part of the invoice record, not as a decorative translation added after approval.
A full Saudi tax invoice must carry a sequential invoice number, the issue date, and the supply date when it differs from the issue date. It also needs the supplier's name, address, and tax identification number. The customer's name, address, and tax identification number must appear where the customer is accountable for VAT.
Each line should identify 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. The VAT amount payable must be shown in Saudi riyals, even if the commercial price also appears in another currency for a cross-border contract or internal reference.
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 format 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.
The common mistake is using a simplified layout for a transaction that needs a full tax invoice. The safer workflow is to decide the invoice type before entering the lines. If the buyer needs its own tax identification number on the document or the supply falls outside the simplified rules, use the full invoice structure.
A one-off invoice maker is enough when you need a clean document for a small number of transactions and you already know the customer details, VAT treatment, language requirements, and payment terms. The same draft can give a tax or finance reviewer a structured record to check before the final invoice is issued.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable work, expenses, approvals, and reporting must stay connected. Everhour Reporting can group project, client, member, billable time, cost, invoice status, and budget data across 45+ columns, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for review before invoicing and accounting handoff.

Yes. Saudi VAT tax invoices must be issued in Arabic, in addition to any other language used on the invoice. You can include English for a buyer or internal team, but the Arabic version should cover the tax invoice details rather than only the headings.
Saudi Arabia's 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 lines. Do not apply the standard rate to exempt or zero-rated supplies without checking the correct treatment.
Commercial amounts can appear in another currency when the transaction requires it, but the VAT amount payable on a Saudi tax invoice must be shown in Saudi riyals. This protects the tax record and prevents approval delays when the buyer reconciles VAT totals.
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. It still needs the issue date, supplier identification, supply description, consideration payable, and VAT payable or a statement that the consideration includes VAT.
Yes. 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 waves and requires integration with ZATCA systems after notification.
