FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Saudi Arabia is becoming one of the top destinations for business. Vision 2030 reforms have made it easier to start and run companies in the country, with better infrastructure and less bureaucracy. Its central location provides easy access to global markets, while a strong economy, focus on innovation and abundant resources attract investors.

Policies allowing 100% foreign ownership make it even more appealing for international entrepreneurs. With a growing market, Saudi Arabia offers excellent opportunities for businesses to establish, expand and succeed. And with the support of a trusted business setup consultant, like Infinity Horizons, establishing your business in Saudi Arabia becomes simple and stress-free.

Corporate tax in Saudi Arabia depends on business ownership and activity type. Most companies pay a 20% tax rate. This applies to foreign-owned firms and the non-GCC ownership share in joint ventures, while Saudi or GCC-owned portions are tax-free.

Companies in natural gas activities pay 30%, and oil or hydrocarbon producers face an 85% tax rate. Saudi Arabia also has double taxation treaties with many countries and offers tax incentives in special zones and sectors. This helps reduce the overall tax burden for qualifying businesses

Several government bodies are involved in starting a business in Saudi Arabia:

  • The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) manages company registration and licensing.
  • The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) handles work visas and labor regulations.
  • The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing issues permits for real estate and construction projects.
  • The Ministry of Investment (MISA) promotes and supports foreign investors.

Depending on your business sector, other authorities like the Ministry of Industry, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority or the Capital Market Authority may also play a role in approvals and compliance.

You generally do not need to be in Saudi Arabia for most company registration and licensing procedures, as these can be handled remotely. However, the authorized signatory must be physically present in the Kingdom to open a local bank account, which is a mandatory step. All other formalities, like documentation and approvals, can usually be completed online or through a business setup consultant.
