Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from clients in Saudi Arabia.
The main taxes are corporate income tax (20% for non-GCC-owned entities), Zakat (2.5% on Saudi/GCC-owned equity, in place of corporate tax), VAT (15% standard rate), and withholding tax on certain payments to non-residents.
No. Saudi and GCC-owned shares are subject to Zakat, while non-GCC foreign-owned shares are subject to corporate income tax. Mixed-ownership companies are taxed proportionally under both systems.
The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) administers corporate tax, Zakat, VAT, withholding tax, and e-invoicing compliance across the Kingdom.
We support businesses with tax registration, return filing, ZATCA compliance, VAT and Zakat advisory, and ongoing regulatory guidance tailored to your entity structure.
