Saudi VAT Calculator

Saudi Arabia charges 15% VAT on most taxable goods and services. This rate has been in effect since 1 July 2020, when it was tripled from the original 5% rate introduced in January 2018. The increase was a fiscal response to lower oil revenue and COVID-19 economic impact.

Exempt supplies include: residential property rental, certain financial services (interest on loans, life insurance premiums), and the supply of residential real estate by non-real-estate developers. Zero-rated items (0% VAT with input credit) include exports, international transport, and specified medicines.

Divide the VAT-inclusive total by 1.15. For 1,150 SAR inclusive: net = 1,150 / 1.15 = 1,000 SAR, VAT = 150 SAR. The VAT fraction is 3/23 of the inclusive amount.

Mandatory registration: annual taxable supplies exceeding 375,000 SAR (about $100,000 USD). Voluntary registration: above 187,500 SAR. ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) administers VAT collection, filing, and compliance in Saudi Arabia.
