ZATCA Wave 25: Deadline, Requirements & How to Prepare Before 1 February 2027

ZATCA has announced Wave 25 of the Integration Phase of Saudi Arabia's e-invoicing program. For businesses included in this wave, the deadline to integrate their e-invoicing solution with the Fatoora Platform is 1 February 2027.

 

If your business may fall under Wave 25, now is a good time to check your invoicing setup and start preparing.

 

What Is ZATCA Wave 25?

 

ZATCA Wave 25 is the twenty-fifth wave of taxpayers being brought into Phase 2, or the Integration Phase, of Saudi Arabia's e-invoicing program.

 

According to ZATCA's announcement dated 24 July 2026, Wave 25 includes taxpayers whose revenues subject to VAT exceeded SAR 187,500 during 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025. ZATCA will notify the targeted taxpayers, who must integrate their e-invoicing solutions with the Fatoora Platform no later than 1 February 2027.

 

Who Is Included in ZATCA Wave 25?

 

Wave 25 targets taxpayers meeting the following revenue criterion:

 

VAT-subject revenue exceeding SAR 187,500 in any of these years:

  • 2022
  • 2023
  • 2024
  • 2025

ZATCA will directly notify the taxpayers targeted in the wave. Therefore, businesses should not rely only on the revenue threshold; they should also monitor their official ZATCA communications.

 

What Should Businesses Do Before Wave 25?

If your business is included in Wave 25, consider these steps:

 

1. Check your status

Review your VAT-subject revenue for 2022–2025 and monitor ZATCA notifications.

 

2. Review your current invoicing system

Ask:

  • How are we currently creating invoices?
  • Is our system ready for Phase 2?
  • Can it integrate with Fatoora?
  • Can it generate the required invoice data and formats?
  •  

3. Check your ERP or POS

If invoices are generated from an ERP, POS, e-commerce platform, or custom application, determine how that system will connect to your e-invoicing solution.

 

4. Prepare your data

Customer information, products, services, VAT information, invoice numbering, and other required data should be correctly configured.

 

5. Test before the deadline

Don't leave integration and testing until the final weeks.

Your invoicing workflow should be tested before the required integration date.
