In the KSA, you can register for VAT online on the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) portal.

The guide will help you navigate through the Tax Authority website and successfully complete your VAT registration form. The VAT registration process is completely free of charge.

The VAT registration is not a blocker for the seller to do business and should not delay the process of listing your products to launch on the Amazon SA store.

Registering for KSA VAT should lead to a number of associated compliance requirements, including the requirement to file VAT returns and to issue KSA compliant Tax Invoices to your customers. Consult your tax advisor to complete the registration process and for more information.

To comply with the E-invoicing requirements, Amazon is required to add the customer’s VAT number and correct details, including legal business name in Arabic to the tax e-invoice. This is also one of the requirements for the customer to claim input VAT on the fees charged by Amazon.

Hence, we encourage you to provide correct VAT registration details on the Seller Central Tax settings to avoid rejection of e-invoice issued to you and rejection of your input tax claim by the ZATCA, on VAT charged by Amazon.
