In brief
Ten criteria from the National Anti-Concealment Programme that keep an establishment clear of suspected cover-up (tasattur), including its register, a bank account in its name, documented contracts, wage protection, e-payment and invoices.
Summary of the law
Purpose and scope
- Breaching these, especially letting a non-Saudi run the business outright or using personal accounts, is strong evidence of tasattur.
Key rules, rights and obligations
- A valid, updated commercial register, a dedicated bank account with no personal accounts used for business, renewed licences and updated addresses.
- Contracts documented electronically, wages registered in wage protection, no irregular workers.
- E-payment, electronic invoices kept on record, and financing through lawful channels.
