🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ITIN Service

ITIN vs EIN — What Saudi Arabia Business Owners Need

ITIN vs EIN · US LLC · IRS Tax IDs | IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent

⚠️ 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.

ITIN vs EIN — Key Differences

ITIN: for individual persons who need a US tax ID but don't qualify for an SSN
EIN: for business entities (LLCs, corporations) as their tax ID number
Saudi LLC owners typically need BOTH — EIN for the LLC, ITIN for themselves
ITIN is used on W-8BEN; EIN is used on business tax filings
ITINPlus obtains both simultaneously for $99 + $50 add-on

When Saudi Residents Need Both ITIN and EIN

For Saudi business owners with a US LLC: your LLC needs an EIN (Employer Identification Number) as its federal tax ID. You personally need an ITIN as the foreign owner. Both are required for IRS compliance, US business banking, and platform payment processing.

For individual Saudi freelancers without a US entity: an ITIN alone is usually sufficient for W-8BEN compliance on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Amazon Associates.
