Understanding the RETT approach

The Real Estate Transactional Tax (RETT) was first introduced in the Kingdom by Saudi Arabia (KSA) Ministerial Decision No. 712/1442 on 4 October 2020 when the Implementing Regulations covering Tax imposed on Real Estate Dispositions took effect.

Following its introduction, it is important to note that many changes have been made regarding the RETT Tax Implementing Regulations in KSA, especially in the year of 2022.
