Deviation in VAT filing

Why the gap exists between ERP/POS and government data?

Taxpayers typically find a difference of more than 10% between their books and e-invoice data.
This discrepancy is caused due to:

Glitches in submission to ZATCA

Technical glitches and validation errors leading to invoices not being corrected and resubmitted

High volume of data

This increases the chances of failures and complexity of reconciliation

Invoice generation from multiple systems

Difficult to collect data and reconcile

Process gaps

Due to which manual invoices are created and not sent to ZATCA

Despite e-invoicing, VAT filing continues to be cumbersome

Data agregation

Static ERP reports and Manual data processing

Need IT Help for extra data

Data Integrity

Manually filter GL codes and voucher

Add, rectify and Fix missing or incorrect GL and Tax codes

Data Audit

Frequently asked questions

What is e-Invoicing (FATOORAH) in Saudi Arabia?

e-Invoicing, known as FATOORAH in Saudi Arabia, is the digital process of issuing, managing, and storing invoices, credit notes, and debit notes electronically. Mandated by ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority), it aims to enhance transparency, minimize fraud, and streamline tax compliance across the country.

When is e-Invoicing being implemented, and what are the phases?

e-Invoicing is being implemented in two phases:  
1. Phase 1 (Generation Phase): Started on December 4, 2021, requiring businesses to issue invoices electronically.  
2. Phase 2 (Integration Phase): Began in January 2023, requiring integration with ZATCA’s system. Implemented in waves, with 6-month advance notice to businesses.
ZATCA announced Wave 16, mandating VAT-registered businesses with a turnover above SAR 3 million (2022 or 2023) to integrate with the Fatoorah portal by April 1, 2025.

How do I know if my business needs to comply with e-invoicing?

Compliance is required for all VAT-registered businesses and those issuing invoices on behalf of suppliers. Non-resident taxpayers are exempt. The phased implementation depends on turnover, with ZATCA notifying businesses accordingly.

How does ClearTax’s e-Invoicing software meet ZATCA’s compliance requirements?

ClearTax’s cloud-based solution is fully compliant with ZATCA’s Phase 2 standards. It integrates seamlessly with business systems, includes all components of a compliant e-invoice, and provides a dedicated web portal for real-time tracking and status updates.

How can I prepare for ZATCA’s technical e-Invoicing requirements?

ClearTax’s e-invoicing solution automates compliance with ZATCA, integrating your business system with the FATOORAH portal, generating compliant e-invoices, and providing updates to meet regulatory changes.

What are the advantages of using ClearTax for e-Invoicing in Saudi Arabia?

ClearTax’s cloud-based platform simplifies ZATCA compliance, reduces manual errors, enhances processing efficiency, and enables status tracking and reconciliation. It offers seamless integration and automated updates to ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory standards.

Can I manually generate e-invoices using the FATOORAH portal?

Yes, manual generation is possible, but it may be inefficient for high volumes of invoices from multiple sources. ClearTax’s platform consolidates all channels—real-time, bulk generation, status tracking, and reconciliation—making the process faster and more accurate.

Can ClearTax integrate with a custom-developed ERP solution?

Yes, ClearTax’s flexible software can integrate with any ERP system, including custom solutions. Our expert team ensures a smooth integration process tailored to your business needs.

Our business has multiple billing channels across stores, branches, and POS terminals. Can ClearTax consolidate them?
