Tax Disputes
Tax & Zakat Dispute Legal Services
At Aljubail Law Firm, we help companies and individuals protect their rights in disputes involving zakat, VAT, income tax, withholding tax, excise tax, real estate transaction tax and customs duties.
We start by examining the disputed assessment or penalty decision and its supporting records, check that the procedures and statutory deadlines were observed, and then prepare and follow up a reasoned objection with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).
If the dispute is not resolved at the objection stage, we represent our clients before the Committees for the Resolution of Zakat, Tax and Customs Violations and Disputes and then the Appellate Committees, preparing written submissions and presenting the supporting accounting evidence.
Objection and appeal deadlines are short and rarely extended, so we recommend contacting us as soon as you receive an assessment or penalty decision.

Our Approach to Tax Disputes
We review every assessment item by item, identify which items can be challenged and on what legal and accounting grounds, and give our client a clear view of the prospects and cost of each before any decision is made.
