- Two-Step Authorization Process: Non-KSA companies must complete a two-step process to recover VAT from Saudi Arabia for the tax year 2025. Step 1 involves requesting recognition as an eligible entity, which requires submitting specific documents by July 31, 2025. Step 2, the submission of the VAT refund application, can only occur once Step 1 is approved.
- Required Documentation: To complete Step 1, companies must provide several documents, including a Tax Registration Certificate, Certificate of Incorporation, proof of business activity in KSA, a declaration of entitlement to VAT deduction, and a Power of Attorney for the tax representative, among others.
- Submission Deadline and Eligibility Criteria: The deadline for submitting VAT refund applications is June 30, 2026, contingent upon successful completion of Step 1 within 2025. Companies must be VAT registered in their home country, have no fixed establishment in KSA, and ensure their expenses qualify for a VAT refund, meeting the minimum requirements set by the KSA tax office.
