Saudi to impose levy on house workers

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has announced that the Council of Ministers on Tuesday decided to selectively impose a levy on house workers.

Saudi employers will have to pay an annual fee of SR9600 for each house worker if their number exceeds four while expatriate employers will pay the same amount for each worker in excess of two.

The fee for domestic workers will come into force in two phases. The first phase will be effective from May 22, 2022 (Shawwal 21, 1443) and the second from May 11, 2023 (Shawwal 21, 1444).
