Saudi finance minister plans VAT in 2 years -newspaper | GulfNews.com:
"Saudi Arabian finance minister Ebrahim Al Assaf said the kingdom expects to introduce value-added tax in two years, aiming for a tax rate of around 5 per cent, the Saudi-owned Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“VAT will be introduced gradually and be completed within two years, which is the time set for application in GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] countries in 2018. It will be around 5 per cent, which is the lowest worldwide,” Alassaf was quoted as saying.
In its 2016 state budget announcement earlier this week, the ministry said it planned to introduce VAT in coordination with other countries in the region."
