Hi,
I sent some invoices with the wrong address information to ZATCA. Now I want to correct those invoices. Is there a way to do this?
@shahzaibAhmed52 As per Article 54 of VAT Regulations, if you want to make any changes to an Invoice, then it must be through a Credit Note.
Salam,
What kind of address is wrong since there is not TAX changes better discuss with your account manager as there is no API for such corrections. Now my concern is even if you will create and submit a CN to nullify the existing invoice but still that invoice is there with the same address as there is no deletion process.
Secondly may be someone from ZATCA team can suggest if VAT no is there then why customer address etc required as all customer already registered with ZATCA and all details are there.
Thanks
@Malik Please refer Article 53 of KSA VAT Regulations, customer address is a mandatory requirement on tax invoices.
Yes I know it is mandatory but suggesting source of information for 100% accuracy while still it is getting accepted with warning till now.
thanks
Updating customer master records is a resource intensive process, invoices are accepted with warnings to facilitate taxpayers.
That’s true but now what I was suggesting to improve the accuracy if ZATCA already have companies registered with them and a VAT no is provided to each. Since in ZATCA reporting VAT no is there so do you think still company need to collect address and upload just duplication of information and it will be with each transaction. Personally I am still not convinced that ZATCA should collect all this information with each transaction which is already their in their database or there should be an API from ZATCA fetching details from their system in ZATCA reporting process just imagine accuracy and efficiency. I am suggesting based on my 28+ years of experience working on very big companies and application rest is upto ZATCA team nothing is wrong but how efficent and accurate is really matters. Thanks
Its a fair point but E-Invoicing technical specifications are bound by the legal requirement specified in VAT Regulations. Requiring address fields on tax invoices is not unique to KSA, most countries require address fields on Tax invoices. Moreover, address in tax invoices is not limited to the address captured in VAT Registration Certificate, buyers may request sellers to capture address of the premises relevant to the transaction. Overall, this is more towards tax policy side and this is not the right forum to discuss tax policy matters.
