In practice, the KSA incentive system is divided into several blocks. The most prominent are the tax incentives for RHQ and SEZ:
Incentives and benefits for investors!
For instance, in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) and others, the preferential income tax rate is 5% instead of 20% for up to 20 years. Additionally, exemptions from customs duties and VAT apply within the zone (0% duties, 0% VAT for movement within the SEZ).
Special Economic Zones (SEZ).
For RHQ companies, dividend/royalty taxes and other payments to foreign entities (WHT) are additionally waived for 30 years. Generally, the base CIT rate for other profits is 20% (85% for oil), and VAT is 15%. Note: incentives apply only to "eligible activities," specifically supporting the group (the RHQ mission).
Other tax incentives
