% Instrument — tax & zakat
Model the tax and zakat on mixed ownership.
A foreign-owned entity in Saudi Arabia typically faces corporate income tax on the non-GCC profit share and zakat on the GCC/Saudi share — each on a different base. Set your figures and see the split. Illustrative, not tax advice.

Annual net profit
The entity's annual profit, in SAR.
Foreign (non-GCC) ownership100%
The non-GCC ownership share. The remainder is treated as GCC/Saudi for zakat.
Zakat base
The zakat base is not accounting profit — it is capital plus certain additions, less certain deductions. Enter your best estimate; default assumes it equals profit.
Annual taxable revenue (for VAT)
Taxable revenue subject to VAT. VAT is collected through the supply chain, not a cost on profit — shown here for scale.

Illustrative only. Real liability depends on the exact ownership structure, the computed zakat base, deductibility rules, treaty positions, RHQ or other incentives, and current ZATCA rules — which change. This tool does not constitute tax advice; a scoped engagement computes your actual position.
