The Saudi market is undergoing a major transformation

The combination of tax incentives, a need for foreign know-how, and regulatory stability makes the country an emerging hub that should not be underestimated.

That’s why Swiss and Italian SMEs, family offices, and entrepreneurs should act now:

  • Saudi Vision 2030 and Vision 2034.
    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is fast-tracking its economic diversification, with heavy investments in tourism, renewable energy, technology, and infrastructure. Understanding the roadmap today means entering a well-structured market tomorrow.

  • Clear legal and tax framework (if you know how to navigate it):

    • Foreign Investment Law: Equal treatment and free repatriation of profits

    • Double taxation agreements (CH-KSA | IT-KSA) and 20% corporate income tax rate

    • Zakat, VAT, and new tax credits: when they become a cost and when they become a competitive advantage

  • Tailored corporate structures.
    LLC, branch, joint venture, or establishment in a Special Economic Zone: we compare requirements, minimum capital, and asset protection.

  • MISA & fast-track authorizations.
    The Ministry of Investment drives the process, but cultural and contractual due diligence remains key.

  • Special Economic Zones and incentives.
    5% CIT exemption for up to 20 years, 0% WHT on dividends, 0% VAT on intra-SEZ trade: figures that can reshape a business plan.

The topic is complex, and the details make all the difference. Success depends on integrated tax planning and solid contracts.
