THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE

Saudi context.
Practical execution.

Saudi businesses operate within a tax and Zakat environment administered by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). VAT applies to supplies subject to the law and regulations, while Zakat and income tax treatment depends on ownership and other factors. E-invoicing (Fatoorah) is mandatory for in-scope taxpayers, with Phase 2 integration being rolled out in waves. Effective advisory therefore begins with the underlying transaction, contract, supply chain and ownership structure — not simply the return form. We help management understand the tax consequence before transactions are booked and ensure that accounting records, invoices and filing positions agree with each other.

HOW WE EXECUTE

From requirement
to controlled delivery.

01

Determine the tax profile

We identify ownership, activities, registrations, taxable supplies, cross-border payments, permanent-establishment considerations and filing obligations relevant to the entity.

02

Review transaction flows

Sales, purchases, imports, exports, intercompany charges, services and contracts are mapped to the tax treatment and invoice requirements before recurring processes are finalized.

03

Reconcile before filing

VAT outputs, inputs, withholding-tax payments and Zakat/tax balances are reconciled to the ledger and supporting documents. Differences are investigated before submission.

04

Maintain an authority-ready file

Returns, calculations, invoices, contracts and key correspondence are retained in a structured file so the company can respond efficiently to ZATCA questions or assessments.

SAUDI LAW & OPERATING CULTURE

Designed for how business
works in the Kingdom.

We combine the technical requirement with the way it is actually implemented in Saudi Arabia. The precise legal treatment always depends on the entity, activity and facts, so regulated legal, audit or other professional work is carried out or signed by appropriately licensed professionals where required.

VAT and implementing rules

The tax treatment should follow the nature of the supply, place of supply, documentation and any exemptions or zero-rating conditions that apply.

Zakat and income tax

The applicable basis depends on ownership and legal facts. Calculations should be built from reconciled financial information and documented adjustments.

Fatoorah

Generation and integration requirements affect ERP/POS configuration, invoice content, QR codes and system controls for in-scope taxpayers.

Commercial sensitivity

Tax advice is communicated in plain language to owners and management, with emphasis on compliant solutions that do not unnecessarily disrupt commercial relationships.

TYPICAL DELIVERABLES

Clear outputs.
Clear ownership.

Every assignment is scoped to the client's actual requirements. Typical outputs may include:

  • Tax and Zakat compliance calendar
  • VAT/Zakat/tax computation workpapers
