Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) confirmed that the value-added tax (VAT) is not charged twice on the same item and services.

ZATCA indicated that all the items and services are subject to VAT at a rate of 15% if they are provided by an establishment or business owner registered in the VAT system.

Imposing value-added tax twice on the same item or service provided is a violation, the authority said, noting that a person can submit a report through the VAT app or through the website and attach proof of the violation for verification.

ZATCA's clarification came due to a person made a purchase from a store, in which it was found that it calculates the value added tax twice when buying some products.
