A Saudi VAT invoice is the tax document a registered business issues for a taxable supply. ZATCA — the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority — sets the format and the e-invoicing rules.
Quick Answer
A Saudi tax invoice needs the supplier VAT registration number, a unique invoice number and date, line items, the 15% VAT amount, and the total in SAR. Simplified invoices also carry a QR code.
Required Saudi VAT invoice fields
- supplier name, address, and VAT registration number
- a unique invoice number and date of issue
- the recipient's name and address (and VAT number, where registered)
- a description of the goods or services
- the taxable amount per line

Bilingual labelling
Saudi tax invoices commonly carry both English and Arabic labels (for example, "Tax Invoice / فاتورة ضريبية"). Show the taxable amount and 15% VAT separately, then the inclusive total in riyals (SAR).
