Out of the box
What ships for Saudi Arabia.
These are the defaults the workspace starts with when you pick the country. Every one of them is a setting you can change.
| Setting | Default for Saudi Arabia |
|---|---|
| Tax regime | VAT, with inclusive or exclusive pricing per business, and tax split to its own ledger on every posting. |
| Shipped rates |
|
| On documents | Your VAT registration number and business details on every invoice, quotation, receipt, and voucher. |
| Currency | Saudi riyal (SAR) as the home currency, with the right number of decimals on every document and in the books. |
| Languages | Workspace in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layout in Arabic and paired Arabic–English labels on printed documents. |
| Financial year | The calendar year is most common; the financial year is a setting, with lock dates on closed periods. |
Why it fits here
Built for how business runs in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has the region’s highest standard VAT rate and the most advanced e-invoicing regime, which makes two things non-negotiable: every posting must carry its tax split correctly, and every document must be a structured record rather than a printed afterthought. Flowyana posts a balanced entry with VAT on its own ledger for every invoice, purchase bill, expense, and till settlement.
From those postings, the Saudi VAT return report lays out sales and purchases by type for a quarterly or monthly period, including reverse charge on imported services. Import VAT paid at customs is not in your sales and purchase documents, so you add it yourself. Where you pay non-resident suppliers, withholding tax can be deducted on the bill, and a monthly withholding return report totals it by rate. Filing stays with you or your accountant on ZATCA’s portal.
Food and beverage is a defining sector here. The restaurant POS runs floors, tables, and kitchen tickets, keeps serving when the internet does not, and settles into the same books as purchasing and payroll, so the café group’s month-end is a report, not a rebuild. Cash sessions close against expected totals, and any over or short posts to its own account.
Wave 25 brings very small businesses into Phase 2, including single cafés and shops. Flowyana does not clear or report invoices to Fatoora today. If you are in a current wave, you need a ZATCA-integrated solution for issuing invoices; Flowyana can still run your stock, purchasing, payroll, and books alongside it, and we will tell you plainly if that combination suits your case.
Compliance, stated plainly
E-invoicing and filing in Saudi Arabia
ZATCA’s e-invoicing (Fatoora) Phase 2 “integration” is rolling out in waves by revenue. Wave 24 covered taxpayers whose VAT-able revenue exceeded SAR 375,000 in 2022, 2023, or 2024, with a 30 June 2026 deadline. Wave 25, announced on 24 July 2026, reaches taxpayers whose VAT-able revenue exceeded SAR 187,500 in any year from 2022 to 2025, with integration due by 1 February 2027; ZATCA notifies each taxpayer at least six months ahead. Phase 2 requires each invoice to be issued in an approved electronic format carrying a cryptographic stamp and a QR code: tax invoices to businesses are cleared by ZATCA before they are sent, and simplified invoices to consumers are reported within 24 hours.

What Flowyana does — and does not — claim
- Does: posts VAT to its own ledger on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement; keeps a tax summary that agrees with the ledger; puts your VAT registration number on every document; locks closed periods.
- Does not: claim certified integration with any e-invoicing or filing platform. Get any vendor’s status in writing before you buy — including ours — and let your accountant confirm what and when you must file.

Flowyana in Saudi Arabia, answered.
Does Flowyana support Saudi VAT at 15%?
Yes. The Saudi profile ships 15% standard and 0% zero-rated VAT, inclusive or exclusive pricing, and posts the tax split on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement. The tax summary and the Saudi VAT return report read from those postings.
Does it prepare the Saudi VAT return?
It gives you a VAT return report in the return’s layout, quarterly or monthly, built from your own postings. Import VAT paid at customs is entered by you. Filing is done on ZATCA’s portal by you or your accountant.
Can it handle withholding tax on payments to foreign suppliers?
Yes. Withholding tax can be deducted on supplier bills, and a monthly withholding return report totals the payments and the tax withheld by rate.
Is Flowyana ZATCA Phase 2 integrated?
We do not claim ZATCA integration or certification. Phase 2 requires invoices issued in an approved electronic format with a digital stamp and QR code, reported to the Fatoora platform; before you buy any software for it, get the vendor’s integration status in writing — including ours — and confirm your wave with your accountant. Read the guide on what to ask.
Can the workspace run in Arabic?
Yes. Arabic is a full workspace language with right-to-left layout, and documents print paired Arabic–English labels on one page.
Can we run several branches under one company?
Yes. Each branch keeps its own documents, cash sessions, and staff scope — staff see only their own branch — while the owner reads consolidated and per-branch reports.
Can we invoice in dollars?
Not yet. Books and documents are kept in one home currency, the riyal for Saudi companies. If you need to issue invoices in several currencies, tell us before you buy.
