The authority clarified that those who are registered in the VAT system are obligated to collect the tax and make payment to the authority, while persons who are not registered in system are not entitled to collect and make payment of the tax to the authority.

It is noteworthy that everyone who engages in an economic activity is required to register in the VAT system if the annual revenues reach the mandatory limit of SR375,000.
