Simplifying VAT Registration, Filing, and Compliance for Businesses Operating in Saudi Arabia
Business Consultation & Structuring
Safari Star offers strategic consultation to align your business with Saudi Arabia’s VAT framework. Upon registration, you’ll receive a VAT identification number issued by ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority), which is required for issuing invoices, filing VAT returns, and maintaining full regulatory compliance in the Kingdom.
Import VAT Reverse Charge
Saudi Arabia requires businesses to declare VAT on imported goods directly in their VAT returns rather than paying it at customs. This reverse charge mechanism simplifies procedures, improves cash flow, and supports regulatory compliance. Importers must provide their VAT number, and non-resident businesses may need a fiscal representative if they lack a local presence. Safari Star ensures your setup meets all import and tax requirements.
Required Documents for VAT Registration
To register for VAT in Saudi Arabia, you’ll need a translated and notarized Company Incorporation Certificate, a valid passport or ID of the Director, Saudi bank account details for VAT payments (if applicable), and a Power of Attorney for appointing a fiscal representative (required for non-resident businesses). Safari Star manages the documentation and submission process end to end.
KSA E-invoicing & VAT Reporting Requirements
B2G e-invoicing
E-invoicing is mandatory for businesses that deal with government entities in Saudi Arabia. Businesses are required to generate invoices in an electronic format approved by the Saudi tax authorities (ZATCA) to comply with the regulations.
B2B e-invoicing
Saudi Arabia has introduced a phased approach for e-invoicing for B2B transactions. The phased implementation started in December 2021 for large businesses and will expand to medium-sized businesses in 2023, with small businesses expected to comply by 2024. This system streamlines the invoicing process and ensures better tax monitoring.
VAT Records Retention
Businesses in Saudi Arabia are required to retain their VAT records for at least 5 years, in line with the Saudi tax authority’s regulations. This includes invoices, tax returns, and other VAT-related documentation.
Safari Star can help you navigate these requirements seamlessly, ensuring your business is fully compliant with Saudi VAT regulations, from registration to invoicing and record keeping.
