What phase 2 changes
In phase 1, invoices were generated in a structured format. In phase 2, they are cryptographically signed, transmitted to ZATCA and cleared or reported automatically.
The shift removes manual work — but it also means your invoicing system must talk to ZATCA correctly, or every invoice becomes a compliance problem.
Who is in scope
VAT-registered businesses above the current threshold (SAR 187,500 under wave 25) must integrate. ZATCA announced wave 25 on 24 July 2026.
Your specific deadline depends on your wave. Verify on the ZATCA portal — deadlines are per wave, not one-size-fits-all.
How to go live
Confirm your deadline, generate compliant XML invoices, integrate with ZATCA (directly or via an approved provider), run their test scenarios, then go live and monitor daily submissions.
Straight answers.
Penalties apply per ZATCA’s published schedule, and your VAT position is flagged. Move early.
