WhatsApp quoteAs we tell every client, saudi Arabia company formation takes 4 to 8 weeks including MISA licence and commercial registration, and GoldenKey coordinates the local agents, documents and bank introductions from Ajman. The tax position in Saudi Arabia is clear: 20% corporate tax on the foreign-owned share of profits, 2.5% Zakat on Saudi-owned share, and 15% VAT. Croatians are a small community in hospitality, yachting, IT and sports, so the Saudi Arabia authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Croatian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Just as important, for Croatian business owners, the UAE is around 5.5 hours from Zagreb, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Croatia, and English is the business language.
Why Saudi Arabia
As a rule, requirements for a Saudi Arabia company are MISA investment licence, attested parent-company documents (for most applicants a UAE or home-country entity with one year of financials) and commercial registration and Chamber membership. Importantly, reasons founders choose Saudi Arabia include the largest economy in the arab world, vision 2030 projects worth trillions, regional headquarters programme and a uae entity makes the saudi application easier. For Croatians, the practical advantages of Saudi Arabia are the ease of travel between Croatia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
