The rate of compliance with the tax regulations reached more than 87% in most shops and markets.
ZATCA has confirmed that it had identified several violations, such as the failure to issue electronic tax invoices, and non-conformity of the QR code with official requirements. The officials arrested several violators in accordance with the provisions of the system.
ZATCA confirmed that the inspection visits aim to enhance compliance of taxpayers in the business sector with the provisions of the tax regulations that are applicable in Saudi Arabia and to limit commercial transactions that violate the authority's instructions.
The authority has called on consumers to report any facility or establishment that they believe is violating the tax regulations through its official website (zatca.gov.sa), or through its mobile app.
ZATCA offers rewards to anyone who reports tax violations at a rate of 2.5% of the value of violations and fines with a maximum of SR1 million or a minimum of SR1,000.
