Invoice Frontend Validation Announcement

Release of 409 and 208 Enhancement

Dear Developer Community, Following the well-attended call with many of you regarding the 409 enhancement, we will be releasing a new solution that we hope will meet the requirements raised on the call.

For the Reporting (B2C) solution, if an invoice has previously been Accepted or Accepted with warnings then a 409 response will be returned, no additional action is required from your side. However please investigate why the invoice is being resubmitted from your end.

For the Clearance (B2B) solution, if an invoice has previously been Accepted or Accepted with warnings then a 208 response will be returned WITH a signed copy of the cleared invoice. The number of 208 responses that a taxpayer is generated will be monitored by ZATCA and excessive users will be contacted, this is not an alternative to the taxpayer’s responsibility to store the returned invoice the first time.

We will be planning to release the change in the first Quarter of 2025, please ensure that you test your solutions carefully and raise any concerns AHEAD of these dates.

Kindly note that any dates mentioned are provisional and subject to change for ZATCA operational reasons without notice.
