ZATCA Urges Timely Filing of May Withholding Tax Forms

Riyadh: The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) called on establishments subject to withholding tax to submit their withholding tax forms for May 2025 by June 10, 2025. The authority urged taxpayers to file their forms promptly via its website (zatca.gov.sa) to avoid late payment penalties. A fine of 1 percent of the unpaid tax will be imposed for every 30 days of delay from the due date.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the authority encouraged business sector taxpayers seeking more information about withholding tax to contact it through the 24/7 unified call center at 19993. Additionally, they may reach out via the 'Ask ZATCA' account on the X platform (@Zatca_Care), by email at [email protected], or through instant chat on the authority's website.

Withholding tax applies to all payments made from a source in the Kingdom to non-resident parties without a permanent establishment in Saudi Arabia, in accordance with Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its Executive Regulations.
