Saudi Arabia’s Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has called on business establishments subject to Value-Added Tax to submit their tax returns by January 31, 2026, urging prompt compliance to avoid penalties.
The authority said businesses with annual goods and services revenues exceeding SR40m ($10.7m) are required to file their VAT returns for December 2025.
Establishments with annual goods and services revenues not exceeding SR40m ($10.7m) must submit their tax returns for the fourth quarter of 2025. The deadline applies to both categories.
Saudi VAT warning
ZATCA urged enterprises to file their returns without delay through its official website or via the authority’s mobile application.
It warned that late filing will result in penalties ranging from a minimum of 5 per cent to a maximum of 25 per cent of the tax due.
The authority also encouraged taxpayers seeking further information on VAT requirements to contact its 24/7 call centre, engage through its official X platform account, send enquiries by email, or use the live chat service available on its website.
