Managing VAT return filing in Saudi Arabia can often be problematic for businesses. Failing to meet deadlines, calculating VAT incorrectly, or turning in incomplete reports can result in fines, audits, and reputational damage. Compliance with ZATCA is a heavy burden, especially for growing businesses with limited in-house tax expertise. Many of these businesses are not keeping up with timely filings and reconciliation of their VAT accounts and returns without some sort of lifeline from either the experts in the tax consultancy firms or the ZATCA itself.
This is where CBD Accounting for Financial Consulting comes in. We streamline and manage your business’s entire VAT return filing process—making it accurate, efficient, and fully compliant with ZATCA regulations. From data collection to report submission and payment reconciliation, we handle it all while ensuring your business remains audit-ready and stress-free. Our team of experts ensures your competitive edge by providing timely reminders, accurate filing, and industry-specific advisory support.
Filing a VAT return means sending ZATCA reports at regular intervals that state how much we have charged our customers and how much we have been charged ourselves. We say the amount we have been arrested in the reports and how much we have charged. The difference between the two is the net amount of VAT due. If we have paid out more than we have received, then we are in line for a refund; if we have received more than we have paid out, we need to send in the amount due.

Returns for value-added tax (VAT) must be submitted by the last day of the month that follows the tax period.
ZATCA may impose fines and penalties for late filing.
An amended return or correction form can be submitted via the ZATCA portal.
VAT refunds are obtainable by filing a refund application after submitting the return.
You don’t send invoices but must keep them as part of your VAT recordkeeping.
