VAT Calculation on Excise Goods (100% or 50% VAT Rate)

As per ZATCA Excise Tax Implementing Regulations (Chapter 2, Article 2 & 3), the VAT rate on excise goods is either 100% or 50% (depending upon the product).

For an excise product e.g. tobacco, on line item we want to apply 100% VAT Rate. Currently, on simulation portal, Standard rate does not permit to apply any other VAT rate than 5% or 15%. (BR-KSA-84)

How to apply 100% VAT Rate on line item?

Also, on a single item we want to apply two taxes, i.e.

  1. Standard Rate: 15%
  2. Excise Rate: 100%

Does ZATCA allow multiple taxes on single item?

I could not find this new rule BR-KSA-84 in published version 1.2 of XML implementation document. Kindly share draft version of the newer version.

In other words, for Standard Rate VAT Category the rate can either be 15% or 5%.

I am facing the same issue, did you find a solution?
