I am a Saudi Engineer, offering a strategic business solution for foreign business owners residing in the Kingdom who are currently operating under foreign commercial registrations.
The Hidden Cost of Operating as a Foreign Entity:
Most expat business owners don't realize that owning a 100% foreign company in Saudi subjects you to Corporate Income Tax (CIT). However, if you outsource your operations to a local Saudi entity (mine), you fall under the Zakat regime. The financial impact is massive:
Aspect Your Foreign Company My Saudi Company (The Solution)
Taxation System Corporate Income Tax (CIT) Zakat (Islamic wealth tax)
Applicable Rate 20% of net profits 2.5% of the Zakat base
Calculation Basis Only on net taxable income On the Zakat base (Assets - Current Liabilities)
Mixed Ownership Foreign share is taxed at 20% Saudi share is taxed at 2.5%
In simple numbers: The 20% you pay on your profits today is reduced to just 2.5% when working through my entity.
Additional Cost Breakdown (Non-Tax Differences):
Cost Item Your Foreign Company My Saudi Company
Withholding Tax (WHT) 5% – 20% on payments to non-residents Not applicable (treated as local transactions)
Annual Commercial License Fees High (previously up to SAR 10,000+) Minimal government fees
Expat Dependent Fees Up to SAR 9,600/year per expat employee Significantly reduced or exempt based on activity
Saudization (Nitaqat) Ratios Strict mandatory rates (e.g., 20% for Engineering, 25% for Construction) I manage the entire Nitaqat profile on your behalf
My Transparent Financial Offer:
✅ I charge only 5% of the total value of every invoice issued for your work.
✅ This fee covers: Complete document management, official invoicing (FATOORA), government portal follow-ups, and the calculation/deposit of Zakat and VAT due to ZATCA.
✅ Zero hidden fees – no annual retainers or surprise charges.
Bonus Service (Free Strategic Consulting):
As a Saudi Engineer deeply familiar with the local market, I will act as your business partner. I will help you develop and expand your projects, network with government entities, and secure local contracts under the umbrella of a trusted national partner.
