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.
