The ZATCA has already notified resident businesses falling under the above waves to comply with Phase 2 of e-invoicing as per their applicable timelines.
ZATCA announcement
Based on the latest announcements, the ZATCA will begin notifying taxpayers who fall within the eighth wave of Phase 2 e-invoicing integration, to go live within the period between 1 March 2024 and 30 June 2024, inclusive of both dates.
Implications
Resident businesses should comply with the obligations of Phase 2 e-invoicing integration based on the ZATCA notification and undertake the relevant steps in making the required changes in their information technology systems. Taxpayers should comply with the Phase 2 requirements in line with the e-invoicing regulation to preclude possible penalties.
Taxpayers who do not fall within the first eight waves of Phase 2 e-invoicing integration should monitor future announcements from the ZATCA on the integration timeline period applicable to them in subsequent waves.
