Local invoicing requirements in Saudi Arabia

  • Invoices should show both parties' full legal names and addresses, a unique invoice number, and the issue date — the basics expected by Saudi Arabia's tax authority (ZATCA).
  • If you're VAT-registered, add your VAT registration number and show VAT at the standard 15% rate as its own line on the invoice.
  • State the currency clearly (SAR or USD) on every invoice, and include your IBAN along with your agreed payment terms so clients know exactly how and when to pay.
  • Some businesses in Saudi Arabia are required to issue e-invoices through ZATCA's approved e-invoicing system — this tool creates a standard PDF invoice and does not submit anything to the tax authority, so check whether that requirement applies to you.
  • This is general information, not tax advice. Confirm your specific VAT and e-invoicing obligations with a local accountant or ZATCA directly.

Payment tips for getting paid from abroad

  • Decide upfront whether to bill in SAR or USD — SAR keeps pricing simple for local clients, while USD can suit overseas clients paying by wire or card.
  • Set a clear due date (e.g. 14 or 30 days) and consider asking for a deposit upfront on larger projects like website development.
  • Always include your IBAN on the invoice so local and international clients can send a bank transfer without emailing back and forth for your details.
  • Send a polite reminder a few days before the due date, and a follow-up the day after if payment hasn't arrived — most late payments are simply overlooked.
  • Keep a dated copy of every invoice you issue, along with proof of payment, for your own records and in case ZATCA ever asks for them.
