How does business compliance work in Saudi Arabia?

Compliance in KSA is a multi-agency process. It involves MISA for investment licensing, the Ministry of Commerce for commercial registration (CR), and ZATCA for tax and VAT. A critical component is labor law compliance via the MHRSD, which enforces Saudization (Nitaqat) quotas and manages employment through the Qiwa and GOSI platforms.

What are the key risks of non-compliance in Saudi Arabia?

Non-compliance in KSA has severe consequences. Failure to meet Nitaqat (Saudization) quotas can block visa renewals for all foreign staff. Late tax or Zakat filings result in heavy fines from ZATCA. Failure to renew the MISA license or CR will halt all legal business operations, including banking.
