How to file your VAT return in Saudi Arabia

Saudi VAT returns follow a 7-box format: standard-rated sales, zero-rated sales, exempt sales, output VAT, standard-rated purchases, input VAT, and the net amount payable.

Filing on time

Returns are filed quarterly (or monthly for larger taxpayers) through the ZATCA portal. The key is keeping your books current so the numbers are ready before the deadline.

With Booksara, your VAT position updates in real time as you invoice and record expenses, and the return summary is exportable in a click.
