Zakat and Corporate Income Tax Filing in Saudi Arabia: Key Information for 2025

Effective management of Zakat and corporate income tax obligations is essential for businesses operating within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Proactive planning, precise financial oversight, and adherence to regulatory deadlines are critical to ensure compliance and reduce exposure to potential penalties or audits. By maintaining diligent and timely submission practices, companies can confidently navigate the tax landscape and uphold their commitment to regulatory excellence.

Filing and Payment Deadlines

For companies with a financial year ending on December 31, 2025, the deadline to submit Zakat and tax return, along with any due Zakat/tax payment, is April 30, 2026.
