What is Withholding Tax?
Withholding Tax is a tax that Saudi entities must deduct from payments due to non-residents for services or income sourced in the Kingdom, and remit it to ZATCA.
Example: Technical consulting invoice of SAR 10,000 at 5% = SAR 500 WHT; net paid to vendor = SAR 9,500.
Gross-up: If the contract requires the vendor to receive SAR 10,000 net, gross-up so post-tax equals the net. Formula: Gross = Net ÷ (1 − Rate).
