What is this service?
The zakat return is an annual obligation for businesses subject to zakat. It is filed with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) within 120 days of the end of the financial year. Because the zakat base is calculated from items in the statement of financial position, we link our work to your financial statements so the figures stay consistent.
