Calculation Examples
Example 1: Saudi-owned Company
Revenue: SAR 500,000 | Expenses: SAR 200,000
Taxable Profit = 300,000
Zakat = 300,000 × 2.5% = SAR 7,500
Example 2: Foreign-owned Company
Revenue: SAR 1,000,000 | Expenses: SAR 400,000
Taxable Profit = 600,000
Corporate Tax = 600,000 × 20% = SAR 120,000
Example 3: Mixed Ownership (50% Saudi, 50% Foreign)
Revenue: SAR 800,000 | Expenses: SAR 300,000 | Taxable Profit = 500,000
Saudi Share (50%): 250,000 × 2.5% = SAR 6,250 (Zakat)
Foreign Share (50%): 250,000 × 20% = SAR 50,000 (Corporate Tax)
Net Tax = SAR 56,250
