  "summary": "The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) in Saudi Arabia has urged businesses to submit their withholding tax returns for October 2026 by November 10, 2026. Withholding tax is levied on payments made from a source within Saudi Arabia to non-resident entities without a permanent establishment in the Kingdom, as per Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its executive regulations. Failure to file returns by the deadline could result in penalties of 1% of the unpaid tax for every 30 days of delay. ZATCA has provided several contact methods for businesses to seek further clarification, including its unified call center, social media accounts, email, and live chat on their website.",
