What ZATCA Phase 2 requires from every VAT-registered business in Saudi Arabia

ZATCA Phase 2 mandates that all B2B standard invoices be submitted to the Fatoora clearance API in real time before they are issued to the buyer. The invoice must be generated as UBL 2.1 XML, signed with ECDSA on secp256k1 using your Cryptographic Stamp Identifier (CSID) certificate, and cleared by ZATCA. The cleared response — including a UUID and cryptographic hash — must be embedded in the invoice before delivery. Without clearance, the invoice has no legal standing.

B2C simplified invoices follow a reporting mode: the invoice is issued immediately, but must be reported to ZATCA within 24 hours. Every invoice carries a TLV-encoded QR code that encodes seller VAT number, timestamp, total, and VAT amount — verifiable by any ZATCA QR scanner. Non-compliance carries fines of up to SAR 50,000 and potential business registration suspension.

WiseLinkNow handles the full ZATCA lifecycle automatically. When you create and issue an invoice for a KSA business, the platform generates the UBL 2.1 XML, applies XAdES-enveloped digital signatures, submits to Fatoora in real time, receives the clearance response, and stamps the invoice with the ZATCA UUID, hash, and QR code — all before the invoice is sent to your buyer.

What happens when the rules change

ZATCA publishes updated field requirements, signing specifications, and profile changes via official bulletins and the Fatoora developer portal. WiseLinkNow monitors these continuously. If ZATCA updates the UBL profile, changes VAT rate categories, or amends clearance requirements, your account reflects the change before your next invoice run. No action required from you.

Compliance is monitored continuously. If something changes that affects your account, you are notified before it becomes your problem.
