Sales tax and nexus support

The threshold that changes your filing calendar

VAT registration in Saudi Arabia is close to universal once a business trades commercially, so the obligation most growing companies actually watch is the filing frequency threshold: cross SAR 40 million in annual taxable supplies and the return moves from quarterly to monthly. We check your rolling twelve-month supplies against that figure every close, not once a year, so the switch is expected rather than discovered from a ZATCA notice.

Building the return from reconciled books

Each VAT return is built from the same reconciled sales and purchase ledgers our bookkeeping team already produces, mapped to standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt categories under Saudi VAT rules. Where a business sells across GCC member states or into free zones, we flag the treatment separately rather than assuming every sale carries the standard 15% rate.

Fatoora integration, wave by wave

ZATCA has been lowering the revenue threshold for Phase 2 e-invoicing integration in successive waves, so a business that was below the line last year can find itself notified this year. We monitor where your VAT-subject revenue sits against the current wave and prepare the integration readiness checklist, the connected invoicing setup and the workpapers ZATCA expects, ahead of the deadline it assigns rather than after the notice lands.

Filing deadline, every period

Whichever cycle applies, the return itself is due by the last day of the month following the tax period. We build the draft early enough in that window that a review happens before the deadline, not on it.

Who reviews and submits

We prepare the VAT return workpapers and e-invoicing readiness documentation. A ZATCA-licensed tax agent reviews the position and handles submission or any ZATCA correspondence that follows.

Where this fits

This pairs with monthly bookkeeping, which keeps the sales and purchase ledgers current enough that a VAT return is a review, not a rebuild. See pricing for VAT preparation rates.
