Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority clarifies vehicle import rules for individuals
Saudi customs authority confirms 5% duty and 15% VAT apply to imported vehicles for individuals, with possible reassessment of customs value.
The Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority has clarified the rules governing vehicle imports for individual residents, revealing that a 5% customs duty and 15% value-added tax (VAT) are applied to the price of such imports. In response to a query from an individual seeking to import a car from Kuwait for personal use in Saudi Arabia, the authority provided guidance on its website.
The individual, who is a resident but not a Saudi citizen, was directed to the link zat.ca/J4Buc0 to review the import regulations. The authority further explained that the customs duty is calculated based on the vehicle's value, with an additional 15% VAT applied to the combined total of the vehicle's value, including the customs duty and any other fees.
Importantly, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority retains the discretion to reassess the customs value, adhering to the valuation principles outlined in the Unified Customs Law and its executive regulations.
