Subject: Clarification on B2B Invoice Submission Process
Hi Team,
We are currently following this process for clearing B2B invoices:
First, the invoice is created as a draft.
After approval (which may be on a different day), the invoice is marked as approved.
The invoice is then submitted to ZATCA.
In this process, we have been marking the issue date as the time of clearance submission. Is this the correct approach, or can we submit an invoice today (2024-10-03) with an issue date of 2024-10-01?
B2B invoices must be submitted in real-time. This means the invoice date or invoice issue date must be the date of submission to ZATCA. Draft or proforma invoice dates will not be considered as the invoice date. An invoice will be recognized only once you create and submit the E-Invoice.
Hi,
As per ZATCA you can submit October invoices till 15th November the same year.
As per Article (1) 53 of KSA VAT Regulations, Standard Tax Invoices (B2B) can be issued and submitted within 15 days from the end of the month in which supply takes place.
