Saudi Arabia Collects New Tax On Expats
From July, Saudi Arabia is collecting a new tax from expats and their dependants, a move aiming to boost the country’s revenues amid weak oil prices. The new fee will be 100 Saudi riyals (SAR) per dependant per month, around £21 or $27. The amount is expected to increase gradually every year until 2020. By next year, the figure will double to SAR200 and increase to SAR300 in 2019 and SAR400 in 2020.  |
