ZATCA proposed amendment on Article 33 of the VAT law

Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) released draft legislation proposing an addition to Article 33 of the VAT regulations, which includes a zero VAT rate for "exporting" services.

The following amendment has been proposed by ZATCA to Article 33 of the VAT Implementing Regulations:

3- Notwithstanding the second paragraph of this article, the supply of services to a non-resident customer in any of the member states is subject to the zero rate in cases where the supply facilitates the supply of taxable services by that non-resident customer to a person in the Kingdom.

Stakeholders and taxpayers were encouraged to share feedback on this proposal no later than 11 November 2022.
