Does ZATCA notify me before my integration deadline?

Yes. ZATCA has stated that taxpayers targeted for Phase 2 are notified directly and that taxpayers in upcoming waves will be informed at least six months before their integration date.

For Wave 25, ZATCA announced that targeted taxpayers would be notified before they are required to integrate their e-invoicing solutions with the Fatoora platform by 1 February 2027.

However, businesses should not rely exclusively on receiving a notification before beginning preparation. The wave criteria are publicly announced by ZATCA, and businesses can review those criteria in advance to understand whether they may fall within a targeted group.

Early preparation is particularly important because businesses may need to update their ERP or accounting system, map invoice data, configure the e-invoicing solution, obtain the required credentials, test transactions, and complete the integration process before the deadline.

Key points

• ZATCA directly notifies taxpayers targeted for Phase 2.
• Notifications are provided at least six months before the integration date.
• Wave criteria are publicly announced by ZATCA.
• Businesses should not wait for a notification before starting preparation.
• Early integration reduces the risk of last-minute technical issues.
