Where we file on your behalf.
- Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) — Simulation and Production environments.
- FATOORA e-invoicing platform.
- Approved technical solution providers listed by ZATCA.
FormBridge is an independent corporate-services firm. It represents clients before these authorities under written authorization but does not issue, grant or guarantee any government approval.
What we need from you.
- Commercial Registration, Articles / Bylaws and Investment Registration.
- Financial evidence relevant to the VAT threshold and expected turnover.
A signed engagement letter setting scope and exclusions, plus a written authorization or notarised power of attorney limited to the specific filings, where the authority requires representation.
What causes rejections and delays.
- VAT registration filed when the twelve-month turnover does not meet the mandatory threshold and voluntary election is not indicated.
- Address or activity data at ZATCA does not match Commercial Registration, blocking certificate issuance.
- Integration attempt failed on invoice hash, UUID sequencing or QR-code specification.
- Simulation environment tests did not cover the required credit-note / debit-note scenarios before Production submission.
What comes after issuance.
- 01Enable ZATCA event alerts and route them to the client's tax adviser.
- 02Maintain the archive of issued cleared and reported invoices per ZATCA retention rules.
- 03Refresh CSIDs and integration keys on their scheduled cycle.
What we do not do on this matter.
- Tax opinions, transfer-pricing structuring, zakat / VAT return preparation and audit defence.
- ERP / POS software development beyond compliance parameterisation.
- Customs valuations, HS-code determinations and free-zone tax opinions.
Government approvals and determinations remain with the competent authorities.
How long it takes.
ZATCA processing follows authority timelines. FATOORA onboarding depends on the technical solution provider selected by the client.
How we quote.
FormBridge professional fees are fixed against a written scope. Government fees, notarisation, certified translation, legalisation, third-party providers and specialist advisers are billed at cost and quoted separately.
