Frequently Asked Questions

When did RETT replace VAT on real estate?

RETT replaced VAT on real estate transactions in Saudi Arabia from October 4, 2020. Property transactions entered into before that date may still be subject to VAT at the rates applicable at the time.

What properties are subject to RETT?

RETT applies to transfers of real estate — land and buildings — whether residential or commercial. It does not apply to property rental (which remains VAT-exempt for residential use). Transfers by inheritance, divorce-related transfers, and certain charitable transfers have specific exemption rules.
