Example
Inputs: Amount = 1,000 SAR, Calculation = Add VAT to the amount, VAT rate = 15 %. Result: Total including VAT: 1,150.00 SAR; Amount before VAT: 1,000.00 SAR; VAT amount: 150.00 SAR.
Limits and caveats
- The default 15% is the standard rate set by ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) since 1 July 2020.
- Some supplies are zero-rated or exempt, so change the rate when needed.
