Annual Compliance in Saudi Arabia

The recurring corporate pack for a Saudi entity: audited financial statements to support the Zakat/CIT return, renewal of the Commercial Registration and Chamber of Commerce membership, renewal of the MISA investment licence for a foreign-owned entity, monthly GOSI contributions and ongoing Saudization compliance. GOSI rates turn on nationality — for a non-Saudi employee the employer pays 2% (the occupational hazards branch only) and the employee nothing, while for a Saudi/GCC employee a materially higher combined rate of roughly 21.5–23.5% is split between employer and employee across pensions, occupational hazards and SANED unemployment insurance, on basic salary plus housing capped at SAR 45,000 per month, with phased annual increases running to 2028. Nitaqat sets a minimum Saudi-national employment ratio by sector and workforce size, and falling below it restricts work-visa issuance, renewal and transfer through MHRSD.

Cost breakdown

Our fee and the government’s are always separate lines. Government fees are passed through at exactly what the authority charges — we add nothing to them.

Commercial Registration and Chamber of Commerce annual renewalonly if it appliesConfirm on mc.gov.sa.Confirmed before payment
MISA investment licence annual renewalonly if it appliesProvider figures circulate but are not statutory. Confirm on misa.gov.sa.Confirmed before payment
GOSI monthly social insurance contributionsA payroll-driven percentage, not a fixed fee — 2% employer-only for a non-Saudi employee versus roughly 21.5–23.5% combined for a Saudi/GCC employee, on basic plus housing capped at SAR 45,000/month. gosi.gov.sa would not render an official rate page and the rates are mid-transition with annual steps to 2028, so the current-year percentages must be read from gosi.gov.sa.

How it runs

You will see these exact stages update in your client portal as we progress.

  1. Audited Accounts

    Annual financial statements prepared and audited to support the Zakat/CIT return.

  2. Registrations Renewed

    Commercial Registration, Chamber of Commerce membership and — for a foreign-owned entity — the MISA investment licence are renewed.

  3. GOSI Contributions Current

    Monthly GOSI filings and payments are up to date on the correct nationality-based rate, within the SAR 45,000 wage cap.

  4. Saudization Position Reviewed

    The Saudi-national employment ratio is reviewed against the Nitaqat band for your sector and size, because non-compliance restricts MHRSD visa services.
