- Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Finance approved a six-month extension of ZATCA’s Initiative to Cancel Fines and Exempt Taxpayers from Financial Penalties, effective from January 2026 to June 2026.
- The initiative exempts eligible taxpayers from various penalties, including late registration, late payment, late filing, VAT return adjustments, and certain field inspection violations.
- To qualify, taxpayers must be registered, submit all required returns, and pay the full principal tax due; instalment arrangements are allowed if paid on time.
- Penalties for tax evasion and those already paid before the initiative are excluded.
- Taxpayers are encouraged to review the guidance manual on zatca.gov.sa and can contact ZATCA via call centre, X account, email, or live chat for enquiries.
