Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority

The General Authority of Zakat, Tax, and Customs (ZATCA) (Arabic: هيئة الزكاة والضريبة والجمارك) is a government agency under the Ministry of Finance in Saudi Arabia that is responsible for the assessment and collection of taxes and zakat, a form of obligatory almsgiving in Islam.

[3] ZATCA is headquartered in Riyadh and consists of the Taxpayer Department and 19 branches distributed over the main cities in the country.
