The National Bureau for Revenue (NBR) held a total of 22 workshop on the treatment of VAT across various sectors within the Kingdom. The workshops, which have begun since December 2018, address all of the various sectors’ VAT inquiries to ensure effective implementation of VAT.

The workshops targeted government and private sector entities, including entities in the banking and finance, real estate and construction, sale and retail, auditing, and education sectors. The NBR affirms its commitment to increase public and private stakeholders’ awareness and transparency regarding the treatment of the VAT across all sectors in addition to advancing public-private cooperation.

To ensure the success of the initial phase of the VAT implementation, the NBR will organize a further series of workshops to raise awareness on the technical and procedural aspects of VAT.
