Saudi Arabia to impose white land tax in 17 new cities

The Ministry of Housing said that the white land fees program will include 17 new cities. Taxes will be charged in five cities before the end of the year, namely Madinah, Abha, Taif, Khamis Mushait and Jazan. The remaining cities will be subject to the white land levy next year.

The second phase of the program targets developed land plots, owned by one landlord with a total area of over 10,000 square meters. The tax will be levied in the near term, after completion of the required paperwork.
 

The second phase of the program will start in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
