ZATCA tax/Zakat assessment or reassessment - Audit or review of a filed CIT/Zakat return; ZATCA may reassess within the statutory period
The taxpayer may object/appeal within the statutory objection window (escalating to the tax dispute resolution committees). Late payment carries a 1% penalty per 30 days of delay. (not verified against the authority's own page)
VAT assessment / e-invoicing (FATOORAH) non-compliance penalty - VAT audit, late/incorrect VAT return, or failure to comply with Phase 2 e-invoicing integration
Rectify and/or object within the statutory window; e-invoicing non-compliance penalties are cited at SAR 5,000-50,000 per violation. (not verified against the authority's own page)
Withholding tax non-compliance notice - Failure to withhold/remit WHT on a payment to a non-resident, or a mismatch in the annual WHT reconciliation
Remit the tax with penalties; ZATCA focuses reviews on payments to non-resident parties. (not verified against the authority's own page)
SAIP trademark opposition - A third party opposes a published trademark application within the publication/opposition window (cited as 60 days)
The applicant responds within SAIP's prescribed period; mechanics to be confirmed from the SAIP trademark regulations. (not verified against the authority's own page)
SAIP patent objection (examination report) - Substantive examination raises objections against a patent application
Respond/amend within the period set by SAIP; grant fee then payable (secondary sources say within three months of grant notification). (not verified against the authority's own page)
GOSI / Nitaqat (labour) non-compliance - Late GOSI contribution filing/payment, or falling below the required Saudization ratio
Settle GOSI dues (late fees apply); Nitaqat non-compliance restricts visa and MHRSD services until the ratio is restored. (not verified against the authority's own page)
