Frequently asked questions

What is the VAT rate in Saudi Arabia?

The VAT rate in Saudi Arabia is 15%, effective 1 July 2020 (it was 5% when introduced in 2018). It applies to most goods and services except items that are exempt or zero-rated.

How do I extract VAT from a gross amount?

To find the pre-VAT price from a gross amount, divide by 1.15. Example: 1,150 ÷ 1.15 = 1,000 SAR net, and the VAT is 150 SAR. Use the 'Remove VAT' mode to do this automatically.

What's the difference between exempt and zero-rated supplies?

Zero-rated supplies (e.g. exports, international transport) are taxed at 0% and the business can recover input VAT. Exempt supplies (e.g. residential rent, some financial services) carry no VAT and input VAT cannot be recovered — an important distinction when issuing invoices.

When must my business register for VAT?

Registration is mandatory once your annual taxable revenue exceeds 375,000 SAR, and optional above 187,500 SAR. Registration is done through the ZATCA portal.

Does a simplified invoice need the customer's tax number?

A simplified invoice (typically consumer sales under 1,000 SAR) does not require the buyer's VAT number. A standard B2B tax invoice requires the VAT numbers of both parties.

Does VAT apply to real-estate commission (sa'i)?

Yes, 15% VAT applies to the brokerage commission (sa'i), not to the property value itself. To calculate the sa'i and its VAT, use the real-estate commission calculator: /en/tools/real-estate-commission-calculator
