The Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority (ECZA) collaborates closely with the government to activate regulations that enhance the investor experience.

Key regulations include streamlined company establishment processes, greater tax protection through double taxation agreements, and simplified licensing via a One Stop Shop. Strategic incentives feature reduced corporate taxes, customs duties relief, and comprehensive labor and intellectual property protections. Specific measures like 0% withholding tax on repatriation and 0% VAT for intra-SEZ exchanges further enhance the attractiveness of these zones.

These strategic measures are part of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to creating a highly attractive and competitive environment for international and domestic investors, positioning the Kingdom as a globally connected market ideal for regional and international expansion.

Located strategically with 13% of global trade passing through the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia is well-positioned as a connected economy. Furthermore, the Kingdom maintains competitive energy and utility prices to ensure an attractive business climate for international and domestic investors.
