Good to know
Is Zoho Books data stored in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, for accounts registered in Saudi Arabia. According to Zoho, it opened data centres in Riyadh (primary) and Jeddah (secondary) in March 2024 and assigns the region from the country chosen at signup. That keeps accounting records in the Kingdom, which helps when your requirements or clients call for local hosting. Existing accounts on another Zoho region need a planned move, which we check first.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zoho Books ZATCA compliant?
Yes. Zoho lists the Saudi edition of Zoho Books as ZATCA approved for Phase 2 e-invoicing. It generates tax invoices with QR codes, integrates with the Fatoora platform for clearance and reporting, and produces the VAT return. Phase 2 is included on every paid plan from Standard upwards, so there is no separate e-invoicing fee.
How much does Zoho Books cost in Saudi Arabia?
At Zoho's USD list price, Zoho Books costs USD 15 per organisation per month for Standard, USD 25 for Professional, USD 35 for Premium, USD 85 for Elite and USD 200 for Ultimate, billed annually, as of October 2026. Prices exclude VAT, and we quote Saudi customers in US dollars. Standard includes 3 users, Premium 10 and Ultimate 15.
When does my business need ZATCA Phase 2?
When ZATCA notifies you that your wave has started. Waves are set by VAT-subject revenue, and ZATCA gives at least six months' notice. Wave 25, announced in July 2026, covers revenue above SAR 187,500 in any year from 2022 to 2025, with integration due by 1 February 2027. Check your notification on the ZATCA portal.
Does Zoho Books support Arabic invoices?
Yes. Arabic is mandatory on Saudi tax invoices, and the Saudi edition of Zoho Books handles it with Arabic and bilingual Arabic-English templates. Customer names, addresses and item descriptions can be stored in both languages. Zoho Books itself also runs fully in Arabic for your finance team.
We use a Phase 1 invoicing tool. Can we switch before our wave?
Yes, and it is the safer order. We migrate customers, items and open balances into Zoho Books, run a parallel month if you want one, then onboard to Fatoora. Switching early means your team learns the system before clearance errors can hold up invoices to customers.
Is Zoho Books data stored in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, for accounts set up with Saudi Arabia as the country. Zoho runs data centres in Riyadh and Jeddah, opened in March 2024. If your company already uses Zoho on another region, such as the EU or India data centre, moving it is a separate project that we scope first.
