From individuals to large-scale industries everyone was affected drastically.
Out of all the sectors, the common people who were paying monthly EMIs, loans, and the like struggled to make both ends meet. During the first hit of the Covid 19 pandemic, various banks, and the authorities-imposed exemptions on taxes and other payments. This came as a boon to the people.
At present, as the Covid-19 cases are increasing, Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) exempts its taxpayers from paying taxes and financial penalties. The exemptions which began this month can be availed till November 30, 2022. The thoughtful action is to acknowledge the adverse effects of Covid-19 on the economy and the businesses.

ZATCA has instructed its tax-paying citizens to educate themselves about the initiative. As a taxpayer, all you need to do is go through the guidelines published on the ZATCA website.
