Tax Planning Saudi Arabia
Strategic ZATCA-aligned tax planning — Zakat base optimisation, CIT planning, WHT reduction through DTAs, and Vision 2030 incentive utilisation.
Intelli Solutions provides holistic tax planning advisory aligned with Vision 2030's evolving incentive framework, ZATCA's current enforcement priorities, and international best practice. Our advice is fully documented, technically defensible, and designed to withstand ZATCA scrutiny — we do not recommend positions that are likely to be challenged on audit.
Key Tax Planning Opportunities in Saudi Arabia
Zakat Base Optimisation
Identifying all eligible Zakat deductions — fixed assets, long-term investments, financing deductions — to ensure the Zakat base is not inflated by items ZATCA cannot tax.
DTA-Based WHT Reduction
Routing cross-border payments through DTA-partner structures to reduce WHT from up to 20% to 0%–8% — with full ZATCA compliance.
RETT Exemption Planning
Structuring real estate transactions to utilise available RETT exemptions — first-home relief, inheritance exemptions, and corporate restructuring reliefs.
Vision 2030 Incentives
Regional Headquarters Programme (RHQ) tax incentives — 0% CIT and 0% WHT for approved RHQ entities for 30 years — plus R&D tax incentives and NEOM special zone concessions.
Capital Allowance Optimisation
Maximising ZATCA capital allowance deductions through optimal asset classification, componentisation, and timing of capital expenditure.
Loss Utilisation Planning
Strategic utilisation of CIT tax losses — managing the 25%-per-year cap through income timing and transaction structuring to maximise loss absorption.
