"Zakat, Tax, and Customs" urge...

The General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) in the Kingdom has called upon entities subject to withholding tax to submit their tax declarations for the past month of February by no later than March 10th.

The authority encouraged entities to expedite the submission of their tax declarations through its website (zatca.gov.sa) to avoid the penalty for late payment within the specified period, which amounts to 1% of the unpaid tax for every thirty days of delay from the due date.

GAZT also invited businesses interested in obtaining further information about withholding tax to contact them through the unified call center number (19993), which operates 24/7, or via the "Ask Zakat, Tax, and Customs" account on platform (X) (@Zatca_Care), or through email ([email protected]), or via live chats on the website (zatca.gov.sa).

Withholding tax is imposed on all amounts paid from a source in the Kingdom to non-resident entities in the Kingdom, in accordance with the rates specified in Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its implementing regulations.
