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.

What is Non Resident VAT registration?

It’s a VAT registration specifically for Non Resident companies (sellers from outside Saudi Arabia) who want to do business in Saudi Arabia.

Any foreign company selling goods or services to non-VAT registered customers in Saudi Arabia (such as selling via Amazon FBA, Noon FBN, Trendyol or direct cross-border e-commerce) must register for VAT from their very first sale—there is a zero registration threshold for non-residents.

Once your documents are uploaded on our website, we take 4 to 7 business days excluding weekends and holidays to provide you with VAT certificate.
