Noon Seller VAT Report for UAE, KSA and Egypt: What Noon Gives You

#noon #noonseller #noonvat #vatreport #uaevat #ksavat #egyptvat #sellerlab #noonfees #gccsellers

Search Seller Lab for a "VAT report" and you will not find one. What Noon gives you is three kinds of tax document and one export, and between them they hold everything you need for a return in the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Egypt. What they do not do is add it up per market per month. That part you build, and it takes about twenty minutes once you know which document answers which question.

This is the Noon seller VAT report question answered properly: what Noon issues, where it lives, what each document is for, how to get your output VAT per country out of the transaction view, and a checklist to run before every filing. It stays out of tax advice. Rates and thresholds are your authority's business and your accountant's; this is about getting the right numbers out of Noon.

The three invoice types Noon issues, and what each is for

Noon's help centre article on invoices and credit notes (read 8 September 2026) describes three families of document, all under Payments and Fees, then Invoices and Credit Notes in Seller Lab:

Customer invoices and credit notes. One per order, with a serial number, showing the VAT collected from that customer. A credit note is issued against a return or cancellation. Noon's own words: these can be used to pay VAT to the government. This is your output VAT evidence, order by order.

Statement fee invoices and credit notes. Issued weekly with the statement, they total the fees Noon charged on orders delivered that week, with the VAT on those fees broken out. Noon's words again: use these to claim your input VAT. Two conditions from the same article: the invoice is generated when the statement's total sales reach 1,000 AED or more, and if the net fees for the week come to less than 1 AED, SAR or EGP no invoice is issued and the amounts carry forward to the next one.

Service fee invoices. Separate invoices from individual Noon business units for services outside the contract, FBN storage being the example Noon gives.

Each row on the Invoices and Credit Notes page shows the contract (one per country, so Noon AE and Noon SA are separate), the document type and number, the transaction it belongs to (order number for customer documents, statement number for fee invoices), the issue date, the total including VAT, and an e-invoicing status column that, per Noon, applies to KSA and Egypt sellers only. Everything downloads as PDF, filterable by contract, document type, transaction type and date.

That is the complete set. If you sell in two countries you have two of everything, because VAT is per contract.

Output VAT: the number Noon collects but does not total

Every customer invoice states the VAT on that sale. Nothing in Seller Lab sums them into "output VAT for Noon SA, August". Two facts make the sum yours to build.

First, prices on Noon are shown to customers VAT-inclusive, so the VAT is inside the number you see as revenue, not on top of it. Second, Noon's help centre says its fees on the rate card are exclusive of VAT and that only the VAT applicable to marketplace fees is reflected in your invoice and financial statements. In other words, Noon documents the VAT on what it charges you; the VAT on what you sold is documented order by order but totalled nowhere.

The arithmetic for a VAT-inclusive price is the same in all three markets: VAT = price multiplied by rate, divided by one plus the rate. At the standard rates that means the UAE at 5%, Saudi Arabia at 15% and Egypt at 14%. Some categories are zero-rated or exempt and some sellers are below the registration threshold; both of those are questions for your authority, and the UAE and KSA VAT guide and the Egypt VAT guide cover what is in scope. This post assumes you are registered and selling standard-rated goods.

Building the monthly figure from the transaction view

The transaction view (Payments and Fees, then Transaction View) is the item-level export behind your statements, and it is per contract. How to read your Noon settlement report, fee by fee walks the columns; for VAT you need four of them.

  1. Export one contract at a time for the month, plus the two weeks after it so late refunds are captured. Do not merge countries; the rates differ and so do the returns.
  2. Keep only rows with an order number. Rows marked "NA" are account-level charges (advertising, storage subsidies) and belong to input VAT, not output.
  3. Net Proceeds is the revenue from product sales before Noon's fees, per Noon's own column definition, and it is the VAT-inclusive amount the customer paid for the item. Sum it by Transaction Date month. A refund is a negative Net Proceeds row; leave it in, because the credit note reduces output VAT in the month it is issued.
  4. Apply the formula to the monthly sum for that contract's country. That is your output VAT on Noon sales for the month, and it should reconcile to the sum of the customer invoices and credit notes on the Invoices page for the same period. If it does not, the usual reasons are a refund that landed in the other period, or a cancelled order that never shipped.
  5. Sum the fee columns (Referral Fee, Fulfillment and Logistic Fee, Other Order Fee, less Shipping Credits and Order Subsidies) as a cross-check against the statement fee invoices, which are the documents you actually claim input VAT from. The transaction view shows fees before VAT; the invoices show the VAT on them.

Three columns, one filter, one formula. The rest is bookkeeping.

Input VAT on Noon's fees

The statement fee invoices are the claimable documents. Noon states them per statement, so a calendar month has four or five, and a month where a weekly statement fell under the 1,000 AED sales condition may have a gap that catches up the following week. Reconcile the invoices you hold against the statements you received, not against the calendar.

Two practical points. Noon's help centre notes that the VAT reflected on your invoice is the VAT applicable to marketplace fees, quoting the UAE and KSA rates, so an Egyptian seller should check the invoice itself rather than assume. And FBN storage arrives as a service fee invoice rather than inside the statement fee invoice, so a seller who only files the weekly ones under-claims.

A worked month, entirely made up

Numbers invented to show the mechanics; one KSA contract, one month, SAR.

Line Amount
Net Proceeds, order rows, from the export 46,000
of which refund rows (negative) -1,150
Output VAT at the standard rate, 46,000 x 15 / 115 6,000
Statement fee invoices held for the month (fees excluding VAT) 7,360
Input VAT on those invoices 1,104
FBN storage service fee invoice (fee excluding VAT) 420
Input VAT on that invoice 63
Net VAT position on Noon activity 4,833

The two mistakes this table protects against: treating 46,000 as revenue and 6,000 as profit leakage (it was never yours), and forgetting the 63 because the storage invoice is not in the weekly set. Your return will also carry input VAT on stock purchases and other costs, which is outside Noon entirely.

E-invoicing in KSA and Egypt

Noon's Invoices and Credit Notes page carries an e-invoicing status column for KSA and Egypt sellers, showing whether a document has been reported through the e-invoicing service you are enrolled in; Noon says it has no effect for UAE sellers. If you file in KSA through ZATCA or in Egypt through the ETA, that column is the fastest way to spot a customer invoice that did not report. Check it as part of the monthly routine rather than at year end.

Monthly Noon VAT checklist

  1. One transaction view export per contract, month plus two weeks, saved with the date range in the filename.
  2. Output VAT per contract from Net Proceeds on order rows, formula applied at that country's rate.
  3. Customer invoice and credit note totals from the Invoices page for the same period; reconcile to step 2.
  4. Every weekly statement fee invoice downloaded and matched to a statement; note any carried-forward week.
  5. Service fee invoices (FBN storage and similar) collected separately.
  6. E-invoicing status column clean (KSA and Egypt).
  7. Refunds in the right period: a credit note dated next month is next month's reduction.
  8. Anything you cannot reconcile raised with Noon inside the 15-day window statements carry for disputes, described in when does Noon pay sellers.

What SKUmargin's VAT tab does and does not do

SKUmargin reads the same transaction view automatically and its VAT tab summarises output VAT on Noon sales month by month per store at that country's statutory rate, exports to CSV, and marks a month as Estimated when it had to work from gross revenue assuming VAT-inclusive prices rather than settled lines. It is decision support for reconciling against your FTA, ZATCA or ETA filing, not a filing system, and it does not replace the invoices Noon issues; those remain the documents. The live demo shows the tab on a sample store, and the help page has the detail on what is estimated and when.
