Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority clarifies 90-day vehicle correction period
Saudi Arabia’s 90-day vehicle correction window applies only to vehicles brought in by Saudi citizens or non-GCC residents, not to GCC owners driving their own cars.
The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority in Saudi Arabia has clarified the 90-day vehicle correction period rule. This regulation applies solely to vehicles imported by Saudi citizens or non-GCC residents, and not to cars owned by GCC nationals who are residents of the United Arab Emirates. A follower inquired about a situation where a UAE-residing individual registers their car in Dubai, enters Saudi Arabia, and drives it themselves.
The authority responded on its Ask Zakat, Tax and Customs account on X that this 90-day rule does not apply to the non-Saudi GCC owner in this scenario. Vehicles brought into the Kingdom by Saudi citizens or non-GCC residents, or those permitted to drive them, fall under this 90-day correction period, starting from the date the regulations come into effect.
To comply, owners have two options: either remove the vehicle from Saudi Arabia or regularize its status, including issuing Saudi license plates.
