Debit Note
إشعار مدين
📖 Definition
A debit note is issued to increase a previously issued invoice amount. Used when additional charges or corrections increase the amount owed. Must follow ZATCA e-invoicing requirements.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, debit note matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
