This rule applies to all businesses who are liable to pay taxes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as third parties who issue tax invoices on behalf of residents. Companies, especially banks must be prepared for a variety of situations, including the likelihood that real-time permission for individual invoices and transactio...
