Hi everyone!!!

Thank you for this useful blog.

I'm receiving a proposal of being expat (from Spain to Saudi arabia) as a freelance.

As you must know, to expend almost 3 months in there for two weeks off, so as a freelance in my country I must pay taxes in here (Spain) but the fact of passing more than half year in Saudi Arabia.

How does it work? Should I have to pay taxes in SA?

Thank you very much indeed for you help

Regards,

Marlon

Marlon: SA is a tax free country so there should be no tax for you to pay

There are no particular rules for freelancers here, nor there are any licenses that I've heard of, but probably should check about it. If working without license as a freelancers, you won't need to pay anything.

What do u do by the way

Dear Maron,

in Saudi Arabia, the individuals does pay taxes, any your salary is tax-free.Zakah is for Muslims only, it is religious not legal act. it is legal for companies only.
Most welcome for any questions i can answer.
