Mandatory Registration

All companies, businesses or entities which make an annual taxable supply of goods and services in excess of SAR 1,000,000 have been legally required to register for VAT by 20th December 2017.

However, all taxable persons whose annual taxable supplies exceed the mandatory Registration threshold of SAR 375,000 but do not exceed SAR 1,000,000 will be exempted from the requirement to register until 20th December 2018.

Voluntary Registration

Those which make an annual taxable supply of goods and services in excess of SAR 187,500 are eligible for voluntary Registration. Voluntary Registration provides significant benefits for the companies since it allows the deduction of input tax.
