Saudi government’s latest E- invoicing initiative aligns perfectly within the realm of the Vision 2030 ambitions to moving from a ‘physical’ or ‘analogue’ world to a ‘touchless’ or ‘digital’ one.
The Government of Saudi Arabia is set to radically transform its economy into something modern, dynamic, and much less dependent upon oil revenues. Vision 2030 is the manifestation of Kingdom’s aspiration to secure such a dynamic future. Huge steps have already been taken to create more digitalized environment, and one of the initiatives was the E-Invoicing program initiated by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). Saudi Xerox has taken major strides in this field and helped the Saudi government to digitize or re-engineer paper-based processes which plays a major role in this initiative as well.
