Saudi VAT at a glance

Saudi Arabia's standard VAT rate has been 15% since 1 July 2020 (raised from the original 5% introduced in 2018). Some supplies — such as qualifying exports, certain financial services, and specific real-estate transactions — may be zero-rated or exempt.

To add VAT: Gross = Net × 1.15
To remove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ 1.15, and VAT = Gross − Net

Source: ZATCA — Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority.

Assumptions

  • The rate is fixed at 15%.
  • Removing VAT divides by 1.15.

Worked examples
