About Tourist VAT Refund
Saudi Arabia launched a VAT refund scheme for non-resident visitors to encourage tourism under Vision 2030. A tourist can reclaim the 15% VAT on purchases from participating stores when leaving the Kingdom, provided the minimum invoice value is met and purchases are exported within the set period. A service fee is deducted by the refund operator. This tool helps you estimate the amount you will get back before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
VAT in Saudi Arabia is 15% of the item price, and this is the refundable portion for eligible tourists on eligible purchases, minus a service fee charged by the refund operator.
If the price includes VAT, the VAT amount = price × 15 ÷ 115. For example, an item priced at SAR 1,150 includes SAR 150 of refundable tax before the service fee is deducted.
Non-resident visitors who buy from participating stores above a minimum invoice value and export their purchases when leaving the Kingdom within the set period are eligible, under ZATCA rules.
Because the refund operator deducts a service fee from the VAT amount, so the net refund is less than the total VAT. Enter the fee rate to see the expected net.
Enter the purchase amount (indicating whether it includes VAT) and the service fee rate, and the tool instantly calculates the VAT amount and the refund — free.
