Many of our customers add a Saudi Arabia entity to their UAE structure because many clients set up a UAE company first and use it as the parent for their Saudi entity. 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. Slovenians are a small community in pharmaceuticals, engineering and tourism, so the Saudi Arabia authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovenian applications every day and process them without hesitation. In our experience, payments between Slovenia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Slovenian business profiles.
Why Saudi Arabia
Requirements for a Saudi Arabia company are MISA investment licence, attested parent-company documents (usually a UAE or home-country entity with one year of financials) and commercial registration and Chamber membership. GoldenKey works with licensed corporate service providers in Saudi Arabia and remains your single point of contact throughout. Many Slovenian business owners run Saudi Arabia companies alongside an existing business in Slovenia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
What are the annual obligations for a Saudi Arabia company?
Annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Can my UAE company own the Saudi Arabia company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
How does Saudi Arabia compare with a UAE free zone?
Day to day, each serves different markets. GoldenKey as a rule recommends the UAE as the operating base and Saudi Arabia where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
Can a Slovenian citizen own 100% of a company in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Slovenians can own the full share capital of a Saudi Arabia company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Slovenia join me?
Once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
