How long do I have to report a simplified invoice to ZATCA?
Table of Contents
A Simplified Tax Invoice must be reported to ZATCA within 24 hours of its issuance.
The taxpayer generates the simplified invoice through its compliant e-invoicing solution, including the required cryptographic stamp and QR code. The invoice is then transmitted to the Fatoora platform through the Reporting API.
This is different from the clearance process for standard Tax Invoices. A simplified invoice is not sent to ZATCA for clearance before it is issued to the customer.
Key points
- Reporting deadline: within 24 hours of issuance.
- Applies to Simplified Tax Invoices and associated notes.
- Submission is made electronically through the Reporting API.
- The submitted invoice must be in the required structured format.
- Rejected submissions need to be corrected and resubmitted according to ZATCA requirements.
