What is VAT?
VAT means Value Added Tax. It is a tax that businesses must add to the price of the goods and services they sell. This is called output VAT.
Businesses also pay VAT when they buy items to run their work. This is called input VAT.
In Saudi Arabia, the VAT rate is 15% for most items.
A business must register for VAT if its taxable sales are more than 375,000 SAR in 12 months. After registration, the business must:
- Charge VAT on its sales.
- Keep VAT invoices for every sale and purchase.
- Record all VAT transactions in the correct way.
- File VAT returns with GAZT on time.
- Pay any VAT owed to the government.
Businesses need VAT because it is the law. VAT helps the government check business activity. It makes the tax system more fair. When a business handles VAT the right way, it avoids fines and problems and keeps everything clear and organized.
Pricing
Fees can vary by provider. For example, one consulting firm mentions VAT registration services starting at around SAR 1,500. Eighty20 Business and Financial Solutions will give you a clear quote based on your needs. Our price covers all the work, so you avoid costly mistakes and focus on growing your business.
Who Needs to Register for VAT in Saudi Arabia?
Any business that makes more than SAR 375,000 in taxable sales in one year must register for VAT.
Businesses making SAR 187,500–375,000 can register voluntarily to claim back the VAT they pay on business purchases.
Registration is done through the ZATCA portal.
Legal and Procedural Requirements for VAT in Saudi Arabia
- Registration: Mandatory above SAR 375,000. Voluntary from SAR 187,500.
- VAT Returns:
- Monthly filing if yearly revenue is over SAR 40 million.
- Quarterly filing if it is below SAR 40 million.

How VAT Is Calculated?
VAT is worked out by applying a set percentage to the price of goods or services after reaching the net amount. In Saudi Arabia, the standard VAT Registration KSA rate set by law is 15%.
VAT Return Filing
- VAT returns are filed based on how much money a business makes in one year.
- If a business earns more than SAR 40 million, it must file monthly VAT returns.
- If it earns less than SAR 40 million, it must file quarterly VAT returns.
A business can only de-register after it clears all VAT payments and sends the de-registration request through the ZATCA portal.
VAT Refund
A refund is available when the input VAT is higher than the output VAT, meaning you have paid more tax on purchases than you collected on sales.

We offer a full ZATCA VAT registration KSA health check to ensure your business follows all legal requirements and stays compliant.
VAT De-Registration
A business must de-register for VAT if its annual taxable supplies fall below SAR 375,000.
Penalties
Breaking VAT rules can lead to serious fines. We help you stay compliant by keeping your filings accurate and on time.

FAQ's
What if I miss a VAT return or payment?
You can get fined. ZATCA charges a percentage for late returns and a monthly charge for unpaid tax. You can also face fixed fines for other violations.
Is there any relief if I had past fines?
Sometimes ZATCA runs a penalty relief program that cancels or reduces fines for people who fix their records. Check for current relief windows before you act.
Do I need a local tax representative if my business is outside Saudi Arabia?
Non-resident taxable persons must have a tax representative. That person can share legal responsibility for the tax.
Do I have to use e-invoicing after I register for VAT?
E-invoicing rules are linked to VAT. To join ZATCA’s e-invoicing system you need a valid VAT number and to meet the e-invoicing phases and formats.
Can I change how often I file VAT returns?
Yes. You can ask ZATCA to change your filing period from quarterly to monthly or vice versa. ZATCA must approve the change.
What other records should I keep besides invoices?
Keep bank statements (IBAN), company rules (articles of association), contracts, and past financial summaries. ZATCA can fine taxpayers who fail to keep proper books.
