About Zakati

Zakat and tax specialists since 2012

A licensed Saudi professional firm, working with local and foreign companies on everything that touches their obligations to ZATCA.

Who we are

Why Zakati

Since our founding in 1433 AH (2012), we have chosen to specialise in one field: zakat and tax. We are not a general practice; we work where the rules demand precise understanding and accumulated experience — experience built over more than thirteen years.

We believe most issues companies face with ZATCA do not begin when an assessment is issued, but much earlier: a misclassified item, a document not kept, a missed deadline. So we work across the whole cycle — preparing and reviewing returns with a documented method, pursuing refunds, and standing with our clients through queries, assessments and objections until the year is closed.

Our services are organised in five practices: zakat and income tax, VAT, withholding tax, real estate development, and specialist services such as transfer pricing, objections and due diligence. Each service is scoped and priced on its own, so clients pay for what they actually need.

Today we operate as a professional limited liability company, licensed by the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (Licence No. 43) and based in Riyadh. We serve Saudi, GCC and foreign companies in Arabic and English.

Our values

What we stand for

Independence

Our professional view is based on the rules and the facts — not on what anyone wants to hear.

Accuracy

Every figure in a return has a source, a reconciliation and an explanation.

Confidentiality

Client information is held in trust; we never name a client without consent.

Commitment

Statutory deadlines are firm commitments, tracked with the client well before they fall due.
