- Non-resident businesses that paid VAT in KSA during 2025 should check eligibility and submit refund claims to ZATCA by June 30, 2026.
- Eligibility generally requires no local KSA establishment, VAT registration in the home country, and a reciprocal VAT refund arrangement with GCC entities; a fiscal representative is mandatory.
- Only input VAT on qualifying 2025 business expenses is refundable; restricted costs like entertainment or non-business expenses are not eligible.
- Applications must be filed through ZATCA’s portal with valid invoices, proof of payment, and supporting documents such as reciprocity and home-country registration records.
- Businesses should prepare early, as missing or incomplete documentation can lead to delays or rejection.
