Zakat certificate for a tender

I need a Zakat certificate for a government tender next week. How fast can I get it?

The situation

ZATCA issues a Zakat certificate after the return is filed and Zakat paid. Government bodies and banks often ask for a current certificate.

The law

  • Zakat Implementing Regulation Article 102: Zakat return due within 120 days from the end of the Zakat year

What it means for you

ZATCA issues the certificate only after the return is filed and Zakat is paid. If your return for the last year is not filed, file and pay first, then download the certificate from the portal. Build tender timelines around the 120-day return, so you never need a certificate before the year's return is done.

What to do

  1. File the return.
  2. Pay through SADAD.
  3. Download the certificate.
