02 Full process of Saudi VAT registration (1-20 working days)

Pre-registration preparation: these documents are indispensable

Registration process explained in detail (text-only version)

The entire Saudi VAT registration process is divided into five stages, and the total time consumed is about 1 to 20 working days (with complete information).

Step 1: Information preparation, expected to take 1-3 days.
Sellers need to follow the above list and prepare the business license, passport of the legal person, translation of the articles of association, proof of bank account, proof of local address in Saudi Arabia, and power of attorney (e.g., to appoint a proxy). The key to this step is to ensure that all documents are in a standardized format, have consistent information, and that the translations meet the requirements of the Saudi Tax Authority.

Step 2: Submit your application, which is expected to take 1 day.
Submit the organized information through the online system of the Saudi Tax Authority (ZATCA). In case of commissioning, a team of professionals will do it on your behalf to ensure that it is filled out correctly.

Step 3: Review by the tax office, which is expected to take 5-15 working days.
ZATCA will conduct an initial, review and final audit of the information submitted. During the review process, if missing information or inconsistent information is found, the IRS will request corrections or clarifications. Each return requires a new queue, which may result in an overall delay of 1-2 weeks.

Step 4: Obtain a VAT certificate, which is expected to take 1-2 days.
After the audit is approved, ZATCA will issue the VAT tax ID number and an electronic version of the certificate. Sellers can then obtain legal Saudi VAT tax status.

Step 5: Bind the NOON store, estimated to take 1 day.
After getting the VAT certificate, log in NOON seller's backstage, fill in the VAT tax number in the tax information column and upload the certificate scan to complete the binding. At this point, the VAT registration process is all over and the store can operate normally.

Total limitation: The entire process can be completed in 1-20 working days if the information is complete and correct.
