Billing and stock rules in Riyadh
Saudi VAT stands at 15%, and ZATCA collects it. FATOORA phase 2 brings businesses in by wave; wave 25 is for firms whose VAT-subject revenue passed SAR 187,500 in any year from 2022 to 2025, and its integration date is 1 February 2027. For a Riyadh distributor that means B2B invoices cleared in real time, simplified invoices reported within 24 hours, and UBL XML files with a cryptographic stamp and QR code. SalesMake issues each invoice and receipt with the Arabic fields ZATCA requires. Excise applies to some goods such as sweetened and energy drinks, so those items carry their own tax setup.
