In accounts with e-invoicing for the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) enabled, an invoice or note can’t be edited or deleted after it is issued. So if you issued a credit note by mistake (with a wrong amount or without tax), the correction is made by issuing corrective documents that are sent to ZATCA, not by a journal entry. This guide explains the correct method step by step, and its effect on e-invoicing, the tax declaration and the accounts.<\/p>\n
