VAT Registration
Saudi VAT Registration for Non-Resident Companies
We handle your end-to-end VAT registration with ZATCA: preparing required documents, appointing an authorized local tax representative, and managing follow-ups with ZATCA until your VAT certificate is issued.
Requirements:
Value Added Tax in Saudi Arabia is charged at a standard rate of 15% on taxable supplies made in the Kingdom. Unlike domestic companies that enjoy a SAR 375,000 threshold, foreign non-resident businesses have a zero registration threshold—you are legally required to register prior to or upon making your very first sale (including Amazon FBA, Noon FBN, Trendyol, or direct imports).
Under Saudi tax regulations, non-resident entities cannot register independently on the portal; you must appoint a licensed, ZATCA-approved local Tax Representative. Appointing an authorized partner ensures fast processing without compliance delays.
- Company Certificate of Incorporation / Trade License
- Passport / National ID copies of company directors
- Emirates ID (for UAE entities, if applicable)
