Saudi Arabia reporting cycles and business-day rules
Saudi business-day cycles align with ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) VAT monthly deadlines on the last day of the following month for filers with annual VATable supplies above SAR 40 million (quarterly otherwise). SAMA operates SARIE as the wholesale RTGS system on bank business days. The workweek is Sunday through Thursday; weekend is Friday-Saturday. Quarterly Zakat declarations under the Zakat regime apply to GCC nationals at 2.5%, with foreign-owned entities paying 20% corporate income tax under the Income Tax Law. Tadawul (Saudi Stock Exchange) trades Sunday through Thursday. CMA (Capital Market Authority) listed-entity disclosures follow quarterly cycles.
