With companies now required to comply with the regulations of the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority ZATCA, adopting smart, automated accounting solutions that ensure fast and accurate tax invoicing is no longer optional — it’s essential. The real challenge isn’t only compliance, but also achieving operational efficiency and avoiding costly human errors. That’s where innovative solutions like Juleb’s Accounting System come in offering a seamless, automated, and fully compliant e-invoicing experience designed for speed, accuracy, and ZATCA Phase 2 readiness.
1. Why Automating Tax Invoice Issuance Matters
In the past, invoice preparation was a manual, time-consuming task that often led to delays and human errors. With the shift to digital transformation and e-invoicing, automation has become the key to efficiency and compliance. Automated tax invoicing delivers several clear advantages:
Faster accounting operations without repetitive data entry.
Fewer human errors and improved accuracy.
Full compliance with ZATCA’s evolving e-invoicing requirements, including Phase 2
Better customer experience through quick, clear, and professional invoices.
Significant time and cost savings for accounting teams and business owners.
2. What Is ZATCA Phase 2 — and Why Does It Matter?
The second phase of e-invoicing ZATCA Phase 2 , also known as the “Integration Phase,” is a mandatory step for all VAT-registered businesses in Saudi Arabia.
This phase requires companies to integrate their internal invoicing systems directly with ZATCA’s central platform, enabling real-time verification and validation of every tax invoice issued. To comply, a company’s accounting software must be able to:
Generate invoices in ZATCA-approved XML format.
Include QR codes on each tax invoice.
Send invoices automatically to the ZATCA platform for approval and reporting.
Store electronic copies securely in compliance with legal requirements.
That’s why businesses need a solution like Juleb, built to be 100% compatible with ZATCA Phase 2, eliminating the complexity of technical integration and ensuring peace of mind.
3. ZATCA Phase 2 Implementation Timeline by Business Category
ZATCA has been rolling out Phase 2 gradually since early 2023, allowing companies of different sizes to transition smoothly to the new e-invoicing framework. Here’s an overview of the rollout timeline:
Wave 1 (January 2023): Companies with annual revenues over SAR 3 billion.
Wave 2 (July 2023): Companies with revenues exceeding SAR 500 million.
Wave 3 (October 2023): Companies generating more than SAR 250 million annually.
Wave 4 (November 2023): Companies with revenues above SAR 150 million.
Wave 5 (January 2024): Companies exceeding SAR 100 million in annual turnover.
Wave 6 (February 2024): Companies earning more than SAR 70 million.
Upcoming waves (2025): The rollout will continue until all VAT-registered businesses, including SMEs, are fully integrated by the end of 2025.
This gradual approach means every business — regardless of size — should start preparing now. Using a ZATCA approved solution like Juleb ensures your company is ready before your scheduled activation date.
