Zakat Services in Saudi Arabia

Zakat in Saudi Arabia is both a religious duty and a legal requirement. For Saudi and GCC-owned businesses, zakat must be calculated, filed, and defended according to Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) rules.

At Eighty20 Business and Financial Solutions, we provide complete zakat services in Saudi Arabia. We assist with registration, compliance, legal optimization, audits, and appeals, ensuring your business meets ZATCA requirements while minimizing risk. Our approach is practical, clear, and aligned with real ZATCA practices.

Understanding Zakat in Saudi Arabia

Zakat applies mainly to:

  • Saudi-owned companies

  • GCC-owned companies

  • The Saudi/GCC ownership portion of mixed-ownership entities

It is generally calculated at 2.5% of the zakat base, which typically includes:

  • Cash and bank balances

  • Trade receivables

  • Inventory

  • Short-term investments

Long-term assets like buildings and machinery are usually excluded if correctly classified under ZATCA rules. Misclassification can trigger reassessments, penalties, or blocked zakat certificates.
