Corporate tax is an income tax levied on the income earned by the business. Only non-Saudi businesses are liable for corporate income tax in Saudi Arabia. If both Saudi and non-Saudi owners own a company, the portion of taxable income attributable to the non-Saudi interest is subject to income tax in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi share of income goes into the basis on which Zakat is assessed.
