Tax invoice generator

Fill it in and print a simplified invoice with a compliant QR — your data never leaves the browser.

Seller name

VAT number

Invoice number

Issued at

Buyer name

VAT rate

Line items

Totals

Total excluding VAT0.00 SAR

VAT0.00 SAR

Total including VAT0.00 SAR

Printed on the invoice. It carries the five fields ZATCA requires: seller name, VAT number, timestamp, total including VAT, and the VAT amount.

Enter the seller name.

What the QR carries

Five fields, encoded Tag-Length-Value and then Base64.

The five fields

Seller name, VAT number, timestamp, total including VAT, and the VAT amount.

Length counts bytes

An Arabic letter is two bytes in UTF-8, so "مؤسسة النور" is eleven characters and twenty-one bytes. Writing the character count produces a QR that will not read — the most common bug in this whole area.

Arithmetic in halalas

Every amount is computed in whole halalas, so the sum of the lines never drifts from the printed total.

No Phase 2 stamp

The signature and invoice hash (tags 6-9) need a certificate issued at onboarding. Generating them in a browser would be producing a forgery.

When you need it

A small business issuing simplified invoices by hand
Checking that your POS QR contains what it should
Issuing an invoice urgently while the system is down
Testing an Arabic seller name before committing it

Common questions

Is this an approved invoice?

It is a simplified tax invoice meeting the Phase 1 requirements, QR included. Connecting to Fatoora and signing require enrolment and a certificate, which no browser tool can do.

Tax invoice vs simplified?

A simplified invoice is issued to an end consumer and needs no buyer details; a full tax invoice goes to a registered business and needs its VAT number. This produces the simplified one.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All the arithmetic and encoding happen in your browser; neither the VAT number nor the customer name is transmitted.

Why does per-line VAT differ from the total?

Rounding happens once per line and once on the total, so they can differ by a halala or two. The tool tells you when that happens rather than hiding it.

Which timestamp format?

Published examples show both ISO 8601 with a Z and the space-separated form. The field stays editable so you can match what your system emits exactly.

A tool for issuing and checking invoices, not an approval authority. Compliance remains yours, and the ZATCA regulations are the final reference.

For businesses

Issuing a lot of these by hand?

Phase 2 requires integration: a signature, a hash per invoice, and transmission to Fatoora. We build that into the system you already run, instead of moving you onto a new one.
