Saudi Arabia starts today, July 1, 2020, tripling its value-added tax (VAT) to 15%.

 

The VAT will be only applied to trading commissions on any buy or sell of equity share transaction in the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), rather than the deal’s value.

 

The Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) share of commission, which is equal to 3.2 basis points, will not be subject to VAT; however, the remaining part will be taxed.

 

The commission on any buy or sell transactions accounts for 0.155%, or SAR 15.5 for every SAR 10,000 of the deal's value.

 

Trading returns gained from securities or basic commodities, in addition to trading gains are exempt from VAT, according to the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT).
