⚠️ 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.
Why Saudi Oil & Gas Professionals Need an ITIN
- Aramco-listed companies have US shareholders — executives may have US reporting obligations
- US-based oil & gas royalties or licensing income requires ITIN for tax filing
- Joint venture income from US oil & gas operations
- US consulting income from oil & gas industry clients requires ITIN
- ITIN for Saudi professionals receiving compensation from US subsidiaries
US Tax Obligations for Saudi Oil & Gas Sector Professionals
With Saudi Aramco's global operations and the cross-border nature of the oil & gas industry, some Saudi professionals receive US-source income from consulting, royalties, or joint venture distributions. These create IRS reporting obligations that require an ITIN.
