- Non-resident businesses that incurred KSA VAT in 2025 should file refund claims with ZATCA by 30 June 2026.
- Eligibility generally requires no local establishment in KSA, VAT registration in the home country, and reciprocity for GCC VAT refunds; a fiscal representative is mandatory.
- Only qualifying input VAT on eligible business expenses is refundable; restricted costs like entertainment or non-business use are excluded.
- Claims must be submitted through ZATCA’s portal with tax invoices, proof of payment, and supporting documents; missing requested information can lead to rejection.
- Businesses should start early to address eligibility, invoice compliance, proof of payment, and document readiness.
