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

Saudi Arabia's Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority is urging businesses subject to withholding tax to file their August 2026 returns by September 10, 2026. The authority has called on companies in the Kingdom to submit their withholding tax forms promptly through their website to avoid penalties. ZATCA has stated that the penalty for late payment is 1% of the unpaid tax for every 30 days after the due date.

Business taxpayers can contact ZATCA for more information on withholding tax through various channels, including the unified call center at 19993, available 24/7, the Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs account on X, email ([email protected]), or live chat on the authority's website. Withholding tax is imposed on all payments made from a source in Saudi Arabia to non-resident entities without a permanent establishment, as per the rates specified in the Income Tax Law and its executive regulations.
