What is VAT in Saudi Arabia?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added to most goods and services in Saudi Arabia at a standard rate of 15%. Businesses registered with ZATCA (the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) charge VAT on sales and can reclaim VAT paid on business purchases.
Adding vs removing VAT
Add VAT: a shop price shown "before VAT" becomes price × 1.15. A 100 SAR item costs 115 SAR with VAT.
Remove VAT: a receipt showing a VAT-inclusive total hides the VAT. Divide by 1.15 to find the pre-VAT price: 115 ÷ 1.15 = 100 SAR, so 15 SAR was VAT.
Why reverse VAT matters
Businesses need the VAT-exclusive figure to claim input VAT on expenses and to check supplier invoices. Shoppers use it to compare real prices. Switch to "Remove VAT" mode above and enter any inclusive total.
