Simplifying Compliance: Understanding ZATCA-Approved E-Invoicing Solutions

In Saudi Arabia, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) requires all resident businesses to use an electronic system for invoicing. When searching for a provider, many businesses look for the term “ZATCA Approved Companies.“

Zatify clarifies that while ZATCA provides a guide, the true requirement is compliance. Zatify’s dedicated team ensures that its clients’ systems meet every technical standard needed for mandatory Phase 2 integration.

What “ZATCA Approved” Really Means

ZATCA does not officially certify or “approve” every single piece of invoicing software (known as an E-Invoice Generation Solution, or EGS). Instead, ZATCA publishes an indicative list of solution providers who have passed a technical qualification process.

The critical takeaway for every taxpayer is this: The legal obligation for compliance rests entirely with the business. A compliant solution must correctly implement all technical, security, and data requirements mandated by ZATCA for electronic invoicing.

The Two Critical Requirements for Compliance

Compliance, which is the standard Zatify meets for its clients, means flawlessly managing the difference between B2B and B2C transactions:

1. B2B (Clearance Model):For invoices issued between two businesses, the solution must use a secure API to send the invoice data to ZATCA for real-time clearance. The invoice is invalid unless it receives ZATCA’s stamp of approval first.
2. B2C (Reporting Model):For invoices issued to consumers, the solution must immediately issue the invoice with a valid QR Code. The system must then automatically report the invoice data to ZATCA within 24 hours.
