Zero-Rated Supply
توريد بنسبة صفر
📖 Definition
Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% VAT. Unlike exempt supplies, businesses can still claim input VAT on related expenses. Examples include exports and international transport.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, zero-rated supply matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
📖 التعريف بالعربية
التوريدات بنسبة صفر هي توريدات خاضعة للضريبة بنسبة 0%. على عكس التوريدات المعفاة، يمكن للمنشآت المطالبة بضريبة المدخلات على المصروفات المتعلقة. من الأمثلة: الصادرات والنقل الدولي.
💡 Example
Exports from Saudi Arabia are zero-rated - no VAT charged, but the exporter can reclaim input VAT.
الصادرات من السعودية بنسبة صفر - لا تُفرض ضريبة، لكن يمكن للمُصدر استرداد ضريبة المدخلات.
