How to Prepare Your Business for Wave 24 Before June 30, 2026

Wave 24: Is Your Business Ready?

The deadline for Wave 24 of Phase 2 e-invoicing is June 30, 2026. If your business falls within this wave, you have limited time to achieve full compliance with ZATCA requirements. Don't wait until the last minute — the integration process needs time for testing and ensuring system integrity.

How to Know if Your Business is in Wave 24?

ZATCA notifies businesses included in each wave at least six months before the deadline. If you've received a notification indicating your business is covered in Wave 24, you should immediately begin the preparation process.

Even if you haven't received a notification yet, it's wise to start preparing early. Businesses that proactively comply ahead of schedule avoid the pressure and technical issues that may arise from last-minute implementation.

Step-by-Step Preparation Plan

Step 1: Assess Current Status (Week 1)

Before starting anything, assess your business's current situation:

• Are you currently using an e-invoicing system?
• Does your current system support Phase 2?
• Do you have an active VAT registration?
• What is your monthly invoice volume?

Step 2: Choose the Right E-Invoicing System (Week 2)

If you don't have an e-invoicing system or your current system doesn't support Phase 2, you need to choose a compliant system. When comparing systems, ensure:

• Direct integration support with the Fatoora platform
• Built-in digital signing
• Full Arabic language support
• Ease of use and training
• Reasonable cost suitable for your business size

Step 3: System Setup and Certificate Acquisition (Weeks 3-4)

After choosing the system, the setup process includes:

• Registering the system with ZATCA
• Obtaining the digital signing certificate
• Setting up business and branch data
• Connecting the system to Fatoora platform in the test environment

Step 4: Testing and Verification (Weeks 5-6)

The most important phase is comprehensive testing:

• Issue test invoices and verify their approval
• Test all invoice types (tax, simplified, credit and debit notes)
• Verify QR code accuracy
• Review compliance reports

Step 5: Launch and Monitoring (Week 7 onwards)

After successful testing, switch to the production environment and start issuing actual invoices through the new system. Monitor system performance during the first few weeks and ensure there are no errors.
