Zakat & Tax Examination Support
Support for business zakat and tax examinations, including document preparation, response coordination and follow-up with ZATCA within the agreed engagement.
We agree the scope and fees with you before work begins.
Is this the support you need?
For businesses of all sizes and finance directors handling an examination request or questions about a return or supporting records. We start with the request and current file status.
What can the engagement cover?
Identify the examination subject, periods and items in the authority request.
Connect available records to the relevant question, explanation or schedule.
Create a register of requests, responses, open issues and follow-up responsibilities.
Support response preparation and follow-up with ZATCA under agreed scope and authority.
We review your requirements, then agree the scope of work and next steps with you.
Outputs to agree with the team
- A matrix linking examination questions to evidence and responses.
- A list of differences and missing information.
- A record of follow-up work covered by the engagement.
Agree the output format and review boundaries in the engagement; not every item is included in every scope.
Prepare for the first conversation.
- The complete examination request and notification information.
- The return, period and records relevant to the questions.
- Earlier responses, attachments and their references.
- The file owner and unresolved questions.
Start with a general description. The team will discuss the documents needed and an appropriate sharing channel.
What should be agreed before work begins?
Deliverables
Clarify what you need to receive: a review, written memorandum, findings list or support with a specific process, depending on the engagement.
Responsibilities
Who supplies information, who reviews it and who authorises a filing or action? Define these roles within the agreed scope.
Scope and boundaries
Discuss inclusions, exclusions, fees, target turnaround and any work that would require a separate engagement.
Outcomes and timing depend on the facts, completeness of documents and relevant procedures. An enquiry or this page does not guarantee an outcome or confirm acceptance of an engagement.
Meet the Mada teamQuestions before you begin
Is an examination the same as an objection?
An examination concerns requests and review of business information. An objection concerns a decision or assessment and a different procedural route. Establish the file status first.
Can Mada follow up with ZATCA?
Mada offers support and follow-up concerning client examinations, subject to the engagement and necessary authority. Agree who prepares, approves and sends each response.
Should we send every document?
Start with the request and relevant information. Connect each attachment to the question it answers and determine the documents needed for the examination.
