How to Create a Free Tax Invoice with a QR Code (Step-by-Step + Free Tool)

Whether you are a wholesaler, a shop owner or a distributor, you occasionally need a professional, printable tax invoice — without buying a full accounting suite. This guide shows you how to create a tax invoice template with a QR code compliant with ZATCA requirements in seconds, for free and with no signup, using the free tax invoice generator.

What a valid tax invoice must contain

  • Seller name and VAT number clearly at the top.
  • Invoice number and date — each invoice gets a unique number.
  • Customer details (and their VAT number if it is a business-to-business invoice).
  • Line items: description, quantity, unit price and total.
  • Subtotal, VAT rate and amount, and the final total.
  • A QR code encoding the seller data, VAT number, timestamp, total and VAT amount (a core requirement of ZATCA Phase 1).

Standard vs simplified tax invoice

A simplified tax invoice is issued to consumers (B2C) and does not require the buyer's VAT number. A standard tax invoice is issued between businesses (B2B) and includes both parties' VAT numbers. In the free invoice generator, the invoice type switches automatically the moment you add (or omit) the customer's VAT number.

How to create the invoice for free, step by step

  1. Open the free tax invoice generator — it runs in the browser, no install, no signup.
  2. Enter your company name, VAT number and address (saved locally so you don't retype next time).
  3. Enter the customer name, then add invoice line items (description, quantity, price).
  4. Pick your country and the VAT rate and currency are set automatically (Saudi Arabia 15%, Egypt 14%, UAE 5%, and 12 Arab countries in total).
  5. The invoice appears live with a QR code — download it as PDF or print it directly.

Is the tool really free?

Yes — the invoice generator is completely free with no limit on the number of invoices, and it runs in your browser without uploading your data to any server. Ideal when you need a printable tax invoice template fast.

From manual invoices to automatic issuing

If you issue dozens of invoices a day through field reps, creating them manually for every customer wastes time and leaks revenue. That is where FieldSales comes in: your rep issues the QR tax invoice automatically from their phone at the customer's location, prints it thermally, and the quantity is deducted from van stock in real time. Try it free for 10 days, no credit card.
