The market this system was built for
Saudi Arabia is not a localisation on top of a foreign product here — it is the market the system was designed around. E-invoicing, VAT, Zakat and Arabic on every document are core behaviour rather than a regional module bolted on late; hosting is EU-based, with in-Kingdom hosting available on request for organisations that require it.
E-invoicing under ZATCA
Phase 2 connects your billing system directly to ZATCA. Standard business-to-business invoices are cleared before they reach the buyer; simplified point-of-sale receipts are issued immediately and reported afterwards. Both paths are implemented, along with credit and debit notes, the invoice hash chain, the signed QR code and PDF/A-3 output with the signed XML embedded.
Read the detail in our guide to what Phase 2 integration actually requires, including the certificate lifecycle and what happens when ZATCA is unreachable mid-shift.
VAT and Zakat
VAT is charged at the standard 15% rate, with zero-rated and exempt supplies tracked separately because they affect how much input tax you may recover. Returns are produced from the same ledger the system posts to, so the return and the accounts reconcile by construction rather than by spreadsheet.
Zakat applies to Saudi and GCC-owned entities alongside corporate income tax on foreign ownership, and the Zakat return is supported directly.
Arabic, and EU hosting, in-Kingdom on request
Every screen, printed invoice and thermal receipt works in Arabic and English, right-to-left included — not a translated menu over a left-to-right layout. Production data is hosted in the EU (Oracle Cloud, Frankfurt) under GDPR; in-Kingdom hosting is available on request for organisations that require it.
Common questions
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) operates the Fatoora e-invoicing programme, and Phase 2 integration is being applied to taxpayers in waves. Standard business-to-business invoices are cleared by ZATCA before they reach the buyer, while simplified point-of-sale receipts are issued immediately and reported afterwards.
What is the difference between a cleared and a reported invoice under ZATCA Phase 2?
A standard business-to-business invoice must be cleared by ZATCA before it is valid, so the billing system has to complete a round trip with the authority before the document reaches the buyer. A simplified receipt is issued to the customer straight away and reported to ZATCA afterwards, which is why a till must never make a queue of customers wait on an external service.
What VAT rate applies in Saudi Arabia?
VAT is charged at a standard rate of 15%. Zero-rated and exempt supplies are tracked separately from standard-rated ones because that split governs how much input tax you may recover, and the return is produced from the same ledger the system posts to.
Does the system handle Zakat as well as VAT?
Yes. Zakat applies to Saudi and GCC-owned entities alongside corporate income tax on foreign ownership, and the Zakat return is supported directly rather than assembled outside the system. Both draw on the same ledger the VAT return is built from.
Can our production data stay inside the Kingdom?
Yes. Skyline Nexus ERP is EU-hosted (Oracle Cloud, Frankfurt) by default, with in-Kingdom hosting available on request for organisations that require it; production data can otherwise sit on your own virtual machines, or be split, with reporting in the cloud. Every screen, printed invoice and thermal receipt works in Arabic and English, right-to-left included.
Rates, regimes and deadlines in this summary change, and many countries are actively legislating on e-invoicing. This is general information, not tax or legal advice — confirm the current position with the authority named above or with your tax adviser before you rely on it.
