ZATCA urges businesses to file August withholding tax returns by September 10

The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority has called on businesses in Saudi Arabia subject to withholding tax to submit their August 2026 tax returns by no later than September 10, 2026.

In a post on its official X account, ZATCA urged companies to promptly file their withholding tax forms through its website (zatca.gov.sa) to avoid late payment penalties. The penalty is 1% of the unpaid tax for every 30 days of delay from the due date.

ZATCA also invited business taxpayers seeking more information on withholding tax to contact its unified call center at 19993, available 24/7, or reach out via the "Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs" account on X (@Zatca_Care), by email ([email protected]), or through live chat on the authority’s website.

Withholding tax is imposed on all payments made from a source in the Kingdom to non-resident entities without a permanent establishment in Saudi Arabia, in accordance with the rates specified in Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its executive regulations.
