Tax audit and assessment objection in Saudi Arabia

How we help with tax audit and assessment objection

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers audit findings, assessment, filed return, ledgers, submitted evidence and an item-by-item reconciliation. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Is an objection to ZATCA the same as a later case before a tax committee?

  An objection to the authority, a settlement request and escalation to the competent committee are distinct stages. ZATCA and the committees' 2026 guidance link the route to the tax or customs decision and its notification. Identify the disputed amount, undisputed items, legal grounds and deadline for that decision; an informal enquiry should not be treated as filing the formal objection. Reconcile each audit adjustment to the return, ledger and documents supplied to the authority. Identify factual errors, omitted evidence and disputed treatment separately. An objection should explain the proposed corrected calculation, not merely state disagreement with the total assessment.
