The Regulatory and Strategic Landscape of Professional, Scientific, and Technical Activities in KSA

Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification under Vision 2030 has elevated the importance of professional, scientific, and technical activities as drivers of innovation and competitiveness. However, businesses operating in these sectors face complex regulatory environments, including compliance with ZATCA’s digital tax requirements, GOSI’s social security mandates, and MOL/HRSD’s labor regulations. Additionally, the integration of digital systems such as MISA and NCAR, alongside the expansion of platforms like Saudi Business Center and Meras, demands tailored strategies to align with evolving standards. Navigating these frameworks while maintaining operational efficiency remains a critical challenge for stakeholders.
