Economic policy in Saudi Arabia generally welcomes foreign investment, evidenced by the various government and tax incentives discussed in this profile. Foreign investors, however, are subject to a number of government regulations and tax laws. This profile provides, in condensed form, a summary of the rules, regulations, and tax laws that could affect the foreign investors.

This profile is a general guide to the regulatory and tax aspects of investments or business activities in Saudi Arabia and does not purport to be an exhaustive reference source. The decision making process concerning foreign investment is a complex exercise and the commercial environment of a country continually changes. If you are a foreign investor contemplating investment or doing business in Saudi Arabia, you should obtain up-to-date detailed advice and consult with your financial and tax advisor.

This guide is one of a series of country profiles compiled for use by Baker Tilly International’s clients and professional staff, which may be obtained from any of our international offices or, from within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from Dr. M.  Al Amri & Co.
