Hi Team,
Government entities do not have a Tax ID or CR Number. However, as per ZATCA Phase 2 requirements, these details are mandatory. What should we do in this case?
@Gourav you can ask for any available ID and include it in Other Buyer ID (BT-46) under relevant attribute. If no ID is provided by customer whatsoever, then you can exclude the UBL tag for both BT-48 and BT-46, invoice will be accepted with a warning, later if ZATCA team’s reach out, you can provide details that Government customer did not provide any ID.

Thanks @Ankit.K.Tiwari
I have one more question: what about those customers who are not Saudi nationals?
@Gourav question is not clear, are you asking about the buyer ID in case of export transactions? or B2C transactions with customers other than nationals? B2C invoices in general do not require buyer details (name, address or IDs)
The customers are B2B only, but they are not from Saudi Arabia. In that case, I think no need to send the VAT ID and CRN number to ZATCA. Please correct me if I am not wrong.
@Gourav correct, if customer is located outside KSA, then whatever ID you get from the foreign customer should be included under “Other Buyer ID - OTH attribute” (even if foreign customer provides his home country VAT or CRN number it should go under Other Buyer ID - OTH).
Thanks @Ankit.K.Tiwari for your kind support.
