Our services in Saudi Arabia
VAT
VAT is charged at 15%. Registration is mandatory when taxable supplies pass SAR 375,000 in 12 months and voluntary from SAR 187,500. Returns are monthly or quarterly depending on turnover.
Zakat and corporate income tax
Companies owned by Saudi and GCC nationals pay zakat at 2.5% of the zakat base. The share of non-GCC owners is subject to corporate income tax at 20%. Payments to non-residents can carry withholding tax. Zakat and income tax returns are due within 120 days of the year-end.
E-invoicing (FATOORA)
All VAT-registered businesses must issue electronic invoices. In Phase 2 (integration), ZATCA calls businesses in waves by revenue to connect their invoicing systems to the FATOORA platform.
Companies and audit
Companies are governed by the Companies Law of 2022, and their financial statements are generally audited by an auditor licensed by SOCPA. Foreign investors usually need a MISA investment licence, and related-party transactions fall under the transfer pricing bylaws.

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.
When must my business join ZATCA Phase 2?
ZATCA notifies each wave in advance, based on revenue. You then have at least six months to integrate. We check your wave and plan the work.
