Saudi Arabia’s tax and zakat landscape is undergoing continuous transformation as the Kingdom strengthens its financial systems and regulatory frameworks under Vision 2030. Businesses operating in the region must follow updated rules set by the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA), maintain accurate records, and ensure timely submissions to avoid penalties. For startups, SMEs, and large enterprises, managing tax and zakat obligations can be challenging without proper knowledge and expert support. That is why professional Tax and Zakat Advisory services have become essential for companies looking to stay compliant, minimize risks, and optimize their financial operations.
Our firm specializes in providing comprehensive tax and zakat advisory solutions tailored to the needs of businesses in Saudi Arabia. From compliance and documentation to strategic tax planning and dispute resolution, we help companies navigate every aspect of Saudi tax regulations with confidence and ease.
Understanding Zakat and Tax in Saudi Arabia
Zakat is a religious, financial obligation that Saudi companies must calculate and pay annually. Unlike traditional taxes, zakat is based on specific assets, liabilities, and equity components. Understanding the correct zakat base, allowable deductions, and applicable rates requires technical expertise and up-to-date knowledge of Saudi regulations.
In addition to zakat, businesses may also be subject to various types of taxes, including:
- Value Added Tax (VAT)
- Corporate Income Tax (for foreign-owned entities)
- Withholding Tax
- Excise Tax
- Customs Duties
- E-invoicing compliance
Every tax type requires accurate calculation, documentation, and timely filing according to ZATCA rules. Our advisory services ensure that all these obligations are met efficiently and correctly.
Zakat Calculation and Filing
Zakat calculation can be complex, especially for businesses with multiple revenue streams, assets, and liabilities. Errors in calculation often lead to incorrect payments, ZATCA objections, or penalties.
Our zakat experts help businesses with:
- Accurate zakat base calculation
- Review of financial statements for compliance
- Identification of deductible liabilities
- Preparation and submission of annual zakat declarations
- Responding to ZATCA queries and objections
- Ensuring full compliance with the latest regulations
We ensure that your zakat file is complete, compliant, and aligned with ZATCA requirements, minimizing the risk of penalties or disputes.
Tax Compliance and Filing Services
Saudi Arabia’s tax environment requires businesses to follow strict compliance timelines. Missing deadlines or submitting incorrect data can lead to financial penalties and unnecessary complications.
We provide end-to-end tax compliance services, including:
VAT Registration and Filing
VAT applies to most businesses in Saudi Arabia. We support companies with VAT registration, VAT return preparation, reconciliation of input and output VAT, and accurate submission through the ZATCA portal.
Corporate Income Tax
Foreign-owned or partially foreign-owned companies must file annual corporate income tax returns. Our team ensures correct calculation, documentation, and timely filing.
Withholding Tax
Payments to non-residents often require withholding tax deductions. We ensure proper classification of payments, rate application, and monthly reporting.
Excise Tax
If your business deals with excisable goods, we guide you through compliance, documentation, and periodic filing.
Customs and Import Tax
We also assist businesses involved in imports with customs duties, tariff classifications, and compliance with Saudi customs regulations.
E-Invoicing (FATOORAH) Compliance
ZATCA introduced mandatory e-invoicing to improve transparency and reduce tax violations. All businesses must issue electronic invoices in approved formats.
We help companies with:
- Phase 1 and Phase 2 (Integration Phase) requirements
- System setup and configuration
- Mapping ERP/Accounting systems to ZATCA portals
- Training teams to issue fully compliant e-invoices
- Regular checks to ensure ongoing compliance
Our goal is to ensure your e-invoicing process runs smoothly and meets all regulatory standards.
Tax and Zakat Advisory for Business Strategy

We assist with:
