We are delighted to share the success of our recent webinar, “VAT in EU-Saudi Arabia Cross-Border Trade: A Practical Perspective”, held on Wednesday, 11 December 2024.

This highly informative event brought together leading experts and an engaged audience to address the complexities of VAT regulations in cross-border trade between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the European Union. Understanding VAT rules is crucial for foreign businesses operating across these regions, as these regulations significantly impact their operations, finance, legal, and compliance functions.

We were privileged to host distinguished speakers from Saudi Arabia’s Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD), and the international law firm NAX Law. They provided valuable insights and practical guidance, equipping participants with a clearer understanding of the regulatory framework and its implications for cross-border trade.

The exceptional level of engagement from participants highlighted the importance of this topic. Through insightful presentations and an interactive Q&A session, the webinar offered practical knowledge to help businesses navigate VAT requirements effectively, ensuring compliance while optimising their operations.

ECCKSA remains committed to fostering dialogue and providing platforms for knowledge sharing to support businesses in adapting to the evolving trade landscape.
