In Saudi Arabia, Value Added Tax (VAT) refers to an indirect tax that customers pay on specified goods and services. The VAT Law, within the framework of Saudi Arabia’s Corporate Laws & legislation<\/a>, outlines the VAT implementation provided in the Cooperation Council for Arab States of the Gulf’s Unified VAT Agreement.<\/p>\n

Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax on the consumption or use of goods or services; it is applied across the stages of the supply chain, from when the manufacturer purchases raw materials until the retailer sells the goods to the consumer. Registrants for VAT will collect the VAT applicable to their taxable activities from their customers and pay the tax collected to the authorities. Any natural and legal person who carries on an economic activity is subject to VAT and is required to register for VAT.<\/p>\n
