Saudi Arabia has formally issued the much-anticipated regulatory frameworks governing several key Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

The Saudi tax landscape for digital platforms continues to evolve. In line with its broader efforts to strengthen VAT compliance in the digital economy, Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has issued a detailed guide clarifying VAT obligations for electronic marketplaces acting as “deemed suppliers”.

As Saudi Arabia continues to embark on its journey of economic transformation as part of Kingdom’s Vision 2030, regulatory reform is critical to achieving a diversified, transparent, and digitally enabled economy. One of the most significant drivers of this transformation is the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), which has launched various reform initiatives aimed at enhancing transparency, increasing compliance, reducing the financial burden on taxpayers and modernising businesses by leveraging on technology and digital solutions. For companies establishing themselves, or already operating in the Kingdom, conformity to the ever-evolving framework established by ZATCA is prudent, if not necessary, for sustainable growth.
