Understanding ZATCA Phase 2 Compliance

What is ZATCA?

The Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), formerly known as the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT), is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing the implementation and enforcement of tax and customs laws in Saudi Arabia. ZATCA plays a crucial role in ensuring that businesses comply with tax regulations, which in turn helps to enhance the economic stability and transparency of the kingdom.

What is Phase 2 of ZATCA Compliance?

Phase 2 of ZATCA compliance, also known as the "Integration Phase", builds upon the initial requirements set out in Phase 1, which focused on the adoption of e-invoicing. Phase 2 introduces more stringent requirements aimed at further enhancing the digitalization and transparency of tax reporting. Key aspects of Phase 2 compliance include:

  • Integration: Businesses are required to integrate their e-invoicing systems with ZATCA's platform to facilitate real-time data exchange.
  • Enhanced Data Requirements: Invoices must include additional data fields and must be compliant with specific formatting and content standards mandated by ZATCA.
  • Security Measures: Enhanced security protocols must be implemented to ensure the integrity and authenticity of e-invoices.
  • Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC): Businesses must adhere to continuous transaction control mechanisms that allow real-time or near real-time validation of invoices by ZATCA.
