The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) urged business sector establishments subject to VAT, whose annual supplies of goods and services exceed SAR 40 million, to file their tax returns for September. Meanwhile, ZATCA called on establishments whose annual supplies do not exceed SAR 40 million to file their tax returns for the third quarter of 2026, no later than October 31, 2026.
ZATCA has urged establishments to file their tax returns and make payments promptly through ZATCA's App in order to avoid a late filing fine. A fine shall be imposed for failure to file the tax returns within the specified period, with a minimum fine of 5% and a maximum fine of 25% of the value of the tax that must be declared.
In the meantime, ZATCA invites taxpayers of the business sector who wish to learn more about VAT to reach out through the call center unified No. (19993), operating 24/7, or the "Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs" account on the (X) platform (@Zatca_Care), or through email (info@zatca.gov.sa), or by instant chat on ZATCA's website (zatca.gov.sa).
The VAT is one of the tax laws in force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as an indirect tax imposed on all goods and services that are bought and sold by businesses, with a few exceptions.
