The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has called on all establishments subject to excise tax in Saudi Arabia to submit their tax returns for November and December 2025 no later than January 15, 2026. The reminder aims to ensure timely compliance and avoid financial penalties for late submissions.
ZATCA emphasized that failure to file excise tax returns by the due date may result in a penalty of 5% of the unpaid tax for every 30 days of delay. Businesses are required to submit their returns electronically through ZATCA’s official portal to remain compliant with Saudi tax regulations.
The authority also highlighted that excise tax applies to products considered harmful to public health or the environment, including tobacco products, energy drinks, soft drinks, and sweetened beverages. Businesses dealing in these goods are urged to verify their tax obligations and submit accurate returns within the prescribed timeline.
For further assistance, ZATCA has made support available through its 24/7 unified call center (19993), official communication channels, and digital platforms to help taxpayers understand excise tax requirements and filing procedures.
