ZATCA has urged VAT-registered businesses with goods and service revenues exceeding SAR 40 million to file their July 2026 tax returns by 31 August, warning of fines of up to 25% of the tax due for late filing.
The Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has urged business sector establishments subject to VAT, with goods and service revenues exceeding SAR 40 million, to file their tax returns for July 2026 by no later than 31 August 2026.
ZATCA called on the affected establishments to submit their tax returns immediately through ZATCA’s App to avoid a late filing fine. A fine shall be imposed for failure to file the tax returns within the specified period, with the minimum fine set at 5% and the maximum at 25% of the value of the tax that must be declared.
The authority also invited taxpayers in the business sector seeking further information about VAT to contact its call centre through the unified number (19993), which operates 24/7. Taxpayers can also use the “Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs” account on the X platform (@Zatca_Care), email (info@zatca.gov.sa), or the instant chat service available on the website (zatca.gov.sa).
VAT is a tax law in force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is an indirect tax imposed on all goods and services that are bought and sold by businesses, with a few exceptions.
The reminder was issued on 20 August 2026, ahead of the 31 August 2026 filing deadline.
