New legislations and relevant developments in KSA
Saudi Arabia is suspending the cost of living allowance and increasing the value-added tax VAT from 5% to 15% from 1 July 2020, with some transitional reliefs, as part of measures to address the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.
As a result, businesses impacted by the increased VAT rate will face a challenging decision as to whether to pass on the additional VAT to their customers or absorb this cost to some degree. Many businesses may have no choice but to pass on the additional cost to customers.
VAT filing relief
The tax filing relief provided by GAZT will come to an end on 30 June 2020.
