Global tax software for businesses on Qoyod

Qoyod sits on ZATCA's Phase 2 provider directory and submits every invoice to Fatoora in real time. Its VAT return is a report, filing it is a separately quoted service, and the product covers Saudi Arabia alone. Commenda registers you and files across all 50 US states, the EU, the UK, and 70+ countries.

Integration connection between platform and Commenda

Monitor your exposure outside Saudi Arabia

Qoyod's country selector offers Saudi Arabia. The UAE, Jordan and Egypt are marked Soon and link nowhere. Commenda watches every market you actually invoice into, across all 50 US states, all 27 EU member states, and 70+ countries.

File the return Qoyod only prepares

Qoyod produces a VAT return form, monthly or quarterly. Submitting it is a separately quoted service that partner accounting firms perform, and paying the tax is documented as two journal entries you post by hand.

One dashboard for every entity

Qoyod states that each entity needs its own subscription. Commenda holds every entity on one dashboard, with registrations, exposure and filings tracked per entity and rolled up.

Coverage comparison

What does Qoyod cover, and where does it stop?

Qoyod's figures come from its own e-invoicing page, VAT return service, enterprise page and Arabic help centre, plus ZATCA's own provider directory, checked on July 30, 2026. Saudi VAT registration and filing is not a coverage Commenda publishes, and the first two rows say so.

Calculate taxes globally on Qoyod using Commenda

In Qoyod a tax is something you create by hand: pick a ZATCA category code, type a percentage, and it cannot be deleted afterwards. That works when the answer is one national rate. A US address can need a state, county, city and district rate together, and an EU sale needs the right treatment more than the right number. Commenda derives both from the transaction.

Track your global exposure from Qoyod

No registration threshold appears anywhere on Qoyod's site or in its help centre, because Qoyod is a Saudi product and Saudi registration does not work that way. Selling abroad does. Commenda measures your invoices against economic and physical thresholds in all 50 US states and 70+ countries and notifies you at 80% of a threshold, before you cross. A short questionnaire covers physical presence.

Automatically remit transactions around the world

Commenda takes out the permits, files the returns, and tracks the remittance in the countries Qoyod does not reach. That is all 50 US states on each state's own frequency, EU VAT with OSS and IOSS, UK VAT under Making Tax Digital, and GST across APAC and Canada. Returns are built from your synced data, and amended returns go out where a period needs correcting.

Manage your customers and exemptions in one place

Qoyod validates a customer record before ZATCA will take the invoice, including a national ID where a health or education exemption applies. Commenda keeps that record complete for every market: the customer, the verified tax ID, and the system it synced from, so a B2B buyer is treated as B2B in Ohio and in Ireland. Exemption certificates are collected through a portal, validated on upload, applied automatically where valid, and chased when they expire.

Consolidation

Why does Qoyod not know your total exposure?

Qoyod does the Saudi job thoroughly, from real-time Fatoora submission to ten checks before an invoice goes out. What it never had to solve is the second country, and that is the problem you inherit the day you invoice abroad.

  • Qoyod's map is one country, and it says so itself

    The region picker in Qoyod's own navigation offers Saudi Arabia. The UAE, Jordan and Egypt each appear beside it marked Soon, with no page behind them. Its public API lists 19 resource types, and not one of them is a tax, a tax rate, or a return. This is a Saudi product doing a Saudi job well. Your export sales sit outside it.

  • What being on ZATCA's provider list does and does not mean

    Qoyod is genuinely in ZATCA's Solution Providers Directory under Phase 2, the integration phase, alongside 461 others in a list of 1,055. ZATCA's own disclaimer on that page calls it a guiding list, non-legally binding to taxpayers, and states it is not considered as an approval by ZATCA of the e-solutions provided. Worth knowing before you treat a directory listing as a decision.

  • The return only sees what the return can see

    Qoyod documents several things that fall out of its VAT return form: draft invoices appear in no report at all, tax on a manual journal entry does not reach the purchase tax report unless the tax account and tax type are both set, and a back-dated invoice lands in the period it is dated rather than the period you entered it, which can move a quarter you already submitted. The return also comes monthly or quarterly only, with no custom date range.

  • Selling into the US creates an obligation before you incorporate there

    Selling into the US from a Saudi entity creates US sales tax obligations once you cross economic nexus thresholds, which sit at $100,000 or 200 transactions in most states, and 45 states levy a sales tax at all. Those pre-incorporation sales can create affiliate nexus exposure that carries over to the US entity once it is formed. We run a back-period exposure analysis against the Saudi entity's data before a US launch.

Cost of growth

What does compliance cost on each Qoyod plan?

Qoyod publishes its prices, and its own plan comparison marks the thing that matters most: ZATCA Phase 2 integration is not available on the entry plan. The API and every store connector sit on the same line. Figures are the riyal prices from the plan selection page, before VAT.
