When Should You Create a Branch vs. a New Organization?

When working in Wafeq, you might need to add new entities to register financial transactions such as invoices and expenses.
This raises an important question:
Should I add the entity as a "Branch" or a separate "Organization"?

What’s the Difference Between a Branch and an Organization?

When to Use a New Organization?

Create a new organization in the following cases:

• The entity is located in a different country and follows a different tax authority.

• The entity has a different tax number.

• The entity is part of a VAT Group in Saudi Arabia.

Any entity with its own tax number = separate organization in Wafeq.

When to Use a Branch?

Add a branch in the following cases:

• The entity shares the same tax number as the parent company.

• It has a different Commercial Registration (CR) number — that’s acceptable.
