Why the RHQ program matters
Saudi Arabia's Regional Headquarters program is now a prerequisite for multinationals targeting government contracts, and carries up to 30 years of 0% corporate income and withholding tax for eligible income.
Recent updates
Regulators continue to clarify substance, eligible activities and reporting obligations. We monitor these updates and adjust client RHQ setups accordingly.
What to do next
If you are evaluating an RHQ, get an eligibility assessment to confirm fit, then plan setup around substance and Saudization from day one.
