The Saudi Council of Ministers in May 2021 approved merging of the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) and the General Authority of Customs to form the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZTCA).
The merged government agencies into one umbrella authority will remain organizationally tied to the Ministry of Finance and headquartered in Riyadh. The merger is intended to improve the authority’s tax and customs procedures, as well as enhance security, business, and trade exchanges.
