16 Feb 2022

 

The Ministry of Commerce, published a video clip through its social media platforms of a commercial facility that benefited from the corrective period for violators of the National Anti-Commercial Concealment Program (Tasattur), which is scheduled to end on Wednesday, February 16, 2021.

A company that has been specialized in the food trade business for 5 years in Hail benefited from the corrective period, while its annual revenues exceeded 20 million riyals.

The Ministry explained that the establishment’s owners’ response to the corrective period for violators of the National Anti-Commercial Concealment Program (Tasattur), enabled them to benefit from the advantages of this period.  

According to the National Anti-Commercial Concealment Program (Tasattur), the establishment evaded the situation and legitimized their businesses by completing the process of transferring the company’s ownership to a third party, thus exempting them from income tax retroactively and avoiding the application of deterrent legal penalties of up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 5 million riyals. 

Violators of the National Anti-Commercial Concealment Program (Tasattur) provided comprehensive options for businesses of all sizes and their respective sectors during the corrective period, which included: facilitating partnerships between Saudi and non-Saudi individuals, the registration of the ownership of a business by a non-Saudi individual, enabling Saudi businesses to continue to engage in economic activity by introducing a new partner in the facility (a Saudi or a licensed foreign investor), the option for Saudi citizens to sell, cede or dissolve their businesses, the option for non-Saudis to obtain a premium residency, and the option for non-Saudis to leave the Kingdom permanently.
