In accordance with articles 70 and 72 of the VAT implementing Regulations, non-resident persons can consider their eligibility to claim a refund of the VAT incurred in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
In depth
The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) may allow a non-resident person, a company not carrying out an activity in KSA, to register as an eligible person for a VAT Refund and file a VAT refund claim for VAT incurred in KSA. The claim must be filed within six months from the end of the calendar year to which the refund claim relates. Eligible VAT expenses typically include costs such as hotel accommodation, travel expenses, participation in exhibitions and trade shows, as well as professional services. To qualify as an eligible person, the following criteria must be met:
1
The non-resident person is
established in a country with
a transactional tax system
similar to KSA VAT system.
2
The non-resident person is
registered with the relevant
tax authority for that similar
tax system.
3
The country of the non-resident person allows a reciprocity mechanism to provide refund of tax to the entities of KSA incurring VAT in that country.
ZATCA also permits other designated persons (i.e, foreign
governments, international organizations, diplomatic and consular
bodies and missions, etc.) who are not carrying out any economic
activity in Saudi Arabia to be considered as eligible persons to
request a VAT refund in Saudi Arabia.
