Address Requirements for International Clients on Tax Invoices

Signing process
1

Hi,

We are currently issuing tax invoices for our international clients as part of our compliance with the e-invoicing regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In some cases, we are unable to obtain a building number for clients located outside of Saudi Arabia. We would like to clarify what should be entered in the “Building Number” field on the tax invoice in such cases, to ensure our invoices remain fully compliant with ZATCA requirements.

Could you kindly confirm if it is acceptable to enter “N/A”, “0000”, or any other placeholder value when the building number is not available for non-KSA clients?

We appreciate your guidance on this matter and thank you in advance for your support.

@Mirza Building Number (KSA-18) is not a mandatory field when Buyer’s Country Code (BT-55) is other than SA. Do not include Dummy data in Tax Invoices. Just remove the UBL tag for building Number from the invoice <cac:AccountingCustomerParty / cac:Party / cac:PostalAddress / cbc:BuildingNumber> and ensure Country Code is properly captured, you will not received any warning for not including Buyer’s Building Number.

If taxpayer not filling the building number or other address fields do the software skip the tag or do we need to show empty tag?

@mohan_manakkal if the actual value for tag is not available then software must skip the tag. Dummy values or empty values should not be provided. Skipping a tag for mandatory field will result in invoice being accepted with a warning. Continuous warnings will be picked up for investigations, taxpayers must update customer master records and ensure compliance with mandatory fields.

@Ankit_Tiwari If a non-KSA client does not have a District Name, could you please advise on what we should enter in that field?

@Mirza District (KSA-4) is not a mandatory field for customers located outside KSA. To know the fields relevant for customers located outside KSA, please filter on rule BR-KSA-10 in data dictionary. Only those fields with BR-KSA-10 are mandatory for customers located outside KSA.
