Common questions

Do I pay zakat or income tax in KSA?

It depends on who owns the company. The Saudi and GCC-owned share pays zakat, and the foreign-owned share pays corporate income tax. Mixed companies pay both.

Which auditing standards do you follow?

International Standards on Auditing (ISA) as adopted in each country, and the local rules on top of them, such as the Companies Act 2017 in Pakistan or the Companies Law in KSA.
