Hello,
I am referring to the ZATCA document “Electronic Invoice XML Implementation Standard to the E-Invoicing Resolution dated 2023-05-19” (version 1.2) in order to build the e-invoice request.
In the following invoice parameter:
/ ubl:Invoice / cac:AccountingCustomerParty / cac:Party / cac:PartyIdentification / cbc:ID /@schemeID
(which represents the buyer establishment identification), it is stated on page 52 (Rule: BR-KSA-14):
“in case of multiple commercial registrations, the seller should fill the commercial registration of the branch in respect of which the Tax Invoice is being issued.”
We understand that there is a planned change at MCI where commercial registration (CR) numbers will no longer be used, and the National Unified Number (700) will be used instead. This 700 number may be shared across multiple branch establishments.
Could you please confirm whether, from ZATCA’s perspective, it is acceptable for multiple establishments to have the same 700 number and name on their invoices?
Additionally:
- If there is an updated version of the above document, please share it.
- Please advise if there is a direct email address for business and technical inquiries.
Thank you.
