Saudi Arabia has one of the most active communities of cross-border entrepreneurs in the Gulf. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 has driven a surge of Saudi business owners forming US entities to access global markets — Stripe, Amazon, US banking, and Silicon Valley investment. Despite having no US tax treaty, an ITIN is essential for:
An ITIN is required to file Form 5472 correctly as the foreign individual owner. The LLC's EIN (assigned at formation) is separate — you need both your company's EIN and your personal ITIN.
Saudi entrepreneurs are among the most active cross-border Amazon sellers in the MENA region. Amazon requires all sellers to complete a mandatory tax interview. For Saudi sellers operating through a US LLC (no US employees, offices, or agents), business profits from Amazon FBA are generally 0% US withholding — but you must document this status with a properly submitted W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E backed by your ITIN (or EIN for the entity).
Saudi nationals are significant investors in US real estate — particularly in New York, Los Angeles, Florida, and Texas. Under FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act), when a foreign person sells US real estate, the buyer must withhold 15% of the gross sales price and remit it to the IRS.
To file Form 1040-NR and claim a FIRPTA refund, you need a US ITIN. ITIN Plus processes ITIN applications for Saudi real estate investors for $99. The 3-year statute of limitations applies — claim within 3 years of the filing deadline for that tax year.
Stripe Atlas has become the standard tool for Saudi entrepreneurs wanting to form a US LLC and access global payment processing. Stripe provides your LLC's EIN and sets up your Stripe account. What Stripe does NOT provide: your personal ITIN (as the foreign owner) and Form 5472 filing. After forming your LLC via Stripe Atlas, ITIN Plus provides the ITIN you need for full IRS compliance.

No. Saudi Arabia has no income tax treaty with the United States. The full 30% IRS withholding rate applies to US passive income (royalties, dividends, interest) for Saudi residents. However, an ITIN is still essential for US LLC compliance, Amazon FBA, FIRPTA, and Stripe Atlas.
Yes. Every foreign-owned US single-member LLC must file Form 5472 annually. The $25,000 IRS penalty for non-filing is automatic and assessed per form, per year. An ITIN is required to file Form 5472 correctly as the foreign individual owner. The LLC's EIN is separate — you need both.
Yes — and they should. Amazon requires all international sellers to complete a tax interview. Saudi sellers operating through a US LLC (no US presence) submit W-8BEN-E with the EIN for business payments. For personal W-8BEN submissions and Form 5472 compliance, an ITIN is required. ITIN Plus processes Saudi applications for $99.
When a Saudi investor sells US real estate, the buyer withholds 15% of the gross sales price and remits it to the IRS. With a US ITIN, you file Form 1040-NR to report your actual US tax liability. If the withholding exceeds your actual tax owed, the IRS refunds the difference — but only if you file, and filing requires an ITIN.
