Questions

  • Does Asaan Optics support VAT in Saudi Arabia?

    You can set VAT with its rate and your registration number and print a ZATCA-format QR code on receipts. Asaan Optics does not connect to ZATCA's Fatoora platform, so ask your accountant which e-invoicing requirements apply to your shop.

  • Can I use GST or another tax?

    Yes. The tax has your own label, rate and registration number, so it can be VAT, GST or sales tax.

  • Can prices include tax?

    Yes. Choose whether tax is added to prices or already included in them.
