ZATCA launches digital 'Business Advisor' to clarify tax, zakat and customs obligations

The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has launched the new digital service 'Business Advisor,' enabling taxpayers to independently and quickly identify their zakat, tax and customs obligations related to their business activities. The initiative aims to enhance compliance with relevant regulations and support informed business decision-making.

In an official statement, ZATCA said the service is designed to help business owners, importers, exporters and customs brokers understand the regulatory requirements linked to their commercial activities. The tool aims to raise awareness of zakat, tax and customs requirements, and to boost compliance from the earliest stages of starting or expanding a business.

ZATCA explained that 'Business Advisor' works by having users enter information about their business activity. The system then analyzes the data and instantly displays the zakat, tax and customs obligations that apply, along with relevant guidance to help users understand compliance requirements and make informed decisions based on their business type.

The authority added that the service offers a streamlined digital experience, allowing users to clearly and quickly identify their regulatory obligations. This helps save time and effort, increases knowledge of zakat, tax and customs regulations, and supports voluntary compliance.

ZATCA confirmed that the launch of 'Business Advisor' is part of its ongoing efforts to develop digital services, raise awareness among taxpayers, and make it easier for them to understand zakat, tax and customs regulations. The authority aims to improve user experience and enable efficient and straightforward fulfillment of obligations through enhanced digital knowledge and services.

The authority noted that users can access 'Business Advisor' through its official website by visiting the service page, entering the required information, and clicking on 'Inquire.' The system will then immediately display the zakat, tax and customs obligations relevant to the business, helping users understand their compliance requirements.
