🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ITIN Service

Saudi Arabia Has No US Tax Treaty — Why You Still Need an ITIN

No Tax Treaty · 30% Withholding · W-8BEN | 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.

Understanding the Lack of US–Saudi Tax Treaty

Saudi Arabia has no bilateral income tax treaty with the United States
Standard 30% withholding applies to US-source income without treaty protection
ITIN + W-8BEN is still required by US platforms for foreign person certification
Some withholding can be reduced through specific IRS provisions even without a treaty
ITIN required for US LLC compliance and annual Form 5472 filing

What the Absence of a Tax Treaty Means for Saudi Residents

Without a US–Saudi tax treaty, there are no reduced treaty rates on dividends, royalties, or interest. The standard 30% withholding rate applies. However, Saudi residents still need an ITIN to:

1) Submit Form W-8BEN to certify non-US status to US platforms
2) Comply with IRS Form 5472 reporting as a foreign-owned US LLC owner
3) File Form 1040-NR for US-source income
4) Apply for FIRPTA withholding certificates on real estate transactions
