ZATCA FAQ on the applicable VAT rate and zero-rated supplies.
The global calculator uses a percentage you enter. Selecting Saudi Arabia sets the currency, not the tax rate. Use the official references below to check the treatment applicable to your transaction.
Official references

Important considerations
An older official VAT overview still contains a historical standard percentage. Exclude that overview from current preset evidence; verify the increase transition, regulations, scope and exceptions.
Choosing the applicable treatment
Tax treatment can depend on location, transaction date, the goods or services supplied and the tax base. Check effective dates, exceptions and rounding requirements in the relevant guidance. These references are informational; independent professional validation of country rules is not yet complete.
Calculation method
For a single proportional percentage, add tax using net × rate ÷ 100. To extract included tax, divide the total by (1 + rate ÷ 100). This manual method does not determine whether that percentage legally applies.
