⚠️ No US–Saudi Tax Treaty: Saudi Arabia has no income tax treaty with the United States. Standard withholding rates apply (30% on US-source income) — but your ITIN + W-8BEN is still required for US platform and IRS compliance.
⚠️ Only use an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA): A CAA can certify your original documents so you don't need to mail your passport to the IRS. ITINPlus operates as a CAA — we handle everything remotely via email.
When Aramco Employees Need a US ITIN
- Investing in Aramco's US-listed shares or ADRs may create dividend withholding issues
- US consulting income from Aramco's US subsidiaries requires ITIN

US Tax Compliance for Aramco Employees
Most Saudi Aramco employees do not have US tax obligations from their regular Saudi employment. However, those who invest in US markets, own US real estate, or receive income from Aramco's US operations may need a US ITIN for IRS compliance. ITINPlus assesses your situation and applies for the ITIN if needed.
