It's never the big, obvious error that costs you.

It's sitting in row 6,212, where no human eye lingers at 7 p.m. on filing day.

The landscape has changed

Real-Time Data Matching Has Changed VAT Compliance

E-invoicing flows to them in real time. Customs data, FATOORA totals, and your declared numbers are cross-matched by systems, not officers.

The audit begins before a human is involved — triggered by a ratio that's off, a sequence that breaks, a number on your return that doesn't match the number they already hold.

The clean return is the defense. There is no other.

50 checks. Five fronts. The same ground a ZATCA examiner walks.

Five modules. Every source row traced. Every finding explained.

Evidence, Not Assumptions

Every finding is backed by evidence. Every exception references the relevant ZATCA article. Every SAR impact is calculated, and every transaction can be traced to its source.

Transparent by Design

No black-box decisions. Every finding links directly to the affected transaction and the applicable regulation, so you can understand, verify, and confidently defend every recommendation.

Prioritized by Risk

Not every discrepancy deserves your attention. Findings are ranked by potential financial exposure and compliance risk, helping you focus on the issues that matter most.

Built to Support Professional Judgment

VAT Engine doesn't replace your expertise, it amplifies it. Think of it as a tireless analyst that reviews every transaction, and every calculation, so you can focus on the decisions that require human judgment.

P-02Input VAT claimed — no supplier TRNSAR 47,250

4 purchase lines totalling SAR 315,000 bear input VAT of SAR 47,250 where no supplier TRN is recorded. Under Art. 50(1) VAT IR, recovery requires a compliant tax invoice — these claims are disallowable.

VAT IR, Art. 50(1)

P-03Blocked input VAT — entertainment & cateringSAR 12,600

SAR 84,000 of entertainment and restaurant expenditure appears in the register with input VAT of SAR 12,600 claimed. Per Art. 50(5) VAT IR, input VAT on entertainment is specifically disallowed.

VAT IR, Art. 50(5)

S-02Invoice sequence gap: INV-3187 through INV-3194Audit risk

8 consecutive invoice numbers are absent from the sales register with no corresponding credit notes. ZATCA expects all issued invoice numbers to be accounted for — gaps are a primary audit trigger.
