In keeping with Saudi Law, no income taxes are collected by the Saudi Arabian government. This means that your paycheque comes to you and you keep every riyal you earn. (US$ 1 = Saudi Riyal 3.75) Imagine receiving a paycheck with no deductions for income taxes!!! If you do qualify to be tax-free from your home country, this is the equivalent of receiving a pay raise equal to your income tax rate, possibly as much as a 40% increase automatically! And that is not even considering the competitive salaries offered by the hospitals and other moneysaving benefits such as free housing.
