Abstract
Taxes on land and property contribute to one of the revenue sources in all countries. Notably, there are countries, which do not rely on property taxation as a source of revenue such as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (henceforth KSA). The main revenue of KSA derives from oil, which constitutes 73% of the total government’s revenue. On 23rd March 2015, the government has announced a 2.5% rate of “white land tax” under the Royal Decree M/4, dated November 2015, which may change the landscape of property market in KSA. Ideally, it will be imposed on vacant land Abstract
