KSA Wave 22 e-Invoicing Guide for SMEs | ZATCA Compliance 2025

As part of Saudi Arabia?s digital transformation, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) announced Wave 22 of its e-Invoicing mandate on March 21, 2025.

If your small or medium enterprise (SME) recorded taxable revenue between SAR 1 million and SAR 1.25 million in 2022, 2023, or 2024, you must integrate with ZATCA?s Fatoora platform by December 31, 2025.

This guide provides SMEs with a clear roadmap to achieve Wave 22 compliance & avoid penalties.

With less than a year to prepare, let?s explore the requirements, benefits, and practical steps to ensure your business thrives in Saudi Arabia?s digital economy.

Understanding Wave 22 and Its Importance

Wave 22 is a key component of Phase 2 in ZATCA?s e-Invoicing program, aimed at enhancing tax transparency. It requires SMEs within the specified revenue range to issue electronic invoices (e-Invoices) and connect to Fatoora for real-time B2B invoice clearance or B2C reporting.

Compliance is critical to avoid fines ranging from SAR 5,000 to SAR 50,000, while also unlocking opportunities to streamline operations and reduce costs.

Why e-Invoicing for SMEs?

• Save Time: Automate invoicing and reduce errors.
• Stay Compliant: Meet ZATCA?s regulations effortlessly.
• Go Digital: Adopt paperless processes for a sustainable business.
• Ensure Accuracy: Real-time validation keeps VAT records error-free.

What?s Required?

• Standard Tax Invoices: Pre-clearance by ZATCA?s FATOORAH portal.
• Simplified Tax Invoices: Real-Time Invoice Reporting (RTIR) within 24 hours.
• Format: UBL 2.1 KSA or Hybrid (XML or PDF/A-3 with embedded XML).
• Mandatory Features: e-Invoices must include QR codes, eSignature, cryptographic stamps, and fields like UUID and VAT details.
• Integration: Connect with ZATCA?s FATOORAH portal via API for validation and reporting.
