No action — monitoring only.
ZATCA announced Phase 2 (Integration Phase) Wave 20 of e-invoicing on 2025-01-31: taxpayers whose VAT-taxable revenue exceeded SAR 1.5 million in 2022 or 2023 must integrate their e-invoicing solutions with the Fatoora platform by 2025-10-31.
What changed in detail
On 31 January 2025 the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) published the selection criterion for Wave 20 of Phase 2 (the “Integration Phase”) of e-invoicing. The wave covers every taxpayer whose revenue subject to VAT exceeded SAR 1.5 million in 2022 or 2023; exceeding it in any one of those years is enough.
ZATCA said it would notify every targeted taxpayer in the wave to integrate their e-invoicing solutions with the Fatoora platform by no later than 31 October 2025.
The threshold falls from SAR 1.75 million in Wave 19 to SAR 1.5 million. Wave 20 is the last wave measured only on 2022 and 2023 revenue.
What it means
A business that crossed SAR 1.5 million only in 2024 was outside Wave 20; Wave 21 brought 2024 into the test.
The deadline of 31 October 2025 has passed, so this step of the rollout is spent; the taxpayers it selected remain bound by Phase 2. The threshold has since fallen to SAR 375,000 in Wave 24 (by 30 June 2026) and SAR 187,500 in Wave 25 (by 1 February 2027), so a business below SAR 1.5 million should check itself against the latest wave.
Proof
included all taxpayers whose revenues subject to VAT exceeded (SAR 1. 5 Mn) during 2022 or 2023
