The introduction of e-invoicing by the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) in Saudi Arabia marks a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s journey toward digital transformation. This system enhances business operations and ensures tax regulation compliance. Companies with multiple divisions, such as AGC, have found this integration particularly beneficial. With the support of Al-Mawasil, AGC, which operates in diverse sectors including car accessories and the food market, has seamlessly implemented ZATCA’s e-invoicing system, ensuring compliant invoicing across all its divisions.
