Saudi Arabia has called for businesses to pay tax by end of the week or face fines.

The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has urged taxpayers from the business sector in the Kingdom subject to the withholding tax (WHT) to file their tax returns for October at a date no later than November 12, 2023.

Taxpayers may do so through the authority website to avoid a one per cent fine for unpaid taxes every 30 days after the due date.
