What is VAT Registration in Saudi Arabia?

Value-added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax imposed on commodities and services at each stage of the supply chain.   In Saudi Arabia, businesses must register with ZATCA if their annual taxable supplies exceed the mandatory threshold. The current VAT rate here is 15%. Registering is compulsory, and the system of penalties, fines, and even suspension of non-compliant businesses makes that clear.

Why VAT Registration is Crucial for Your Business?

  • Legal Requirement: Registration is mandatory if your revenue exceeds the threshold.
  • Business Credibility: Clients and partners view registered businesses as more professional and trustworthy.
  • Avoid Penalties: Registering on time keeps you clear of fines and legal troubles.
  • Smooth Trade Operations: Registering for VAT simplifies trading.
