Riyadh Integrated Special Logistics Zone
Establish your company in Saudi Arabia’s Special Integrated Logistics Zone from the UK with clear guidance on eligibility, activities, incentives, licensing, documentation, and ongoing compliance.
Service Overview
Riyadh Integrated is Saudi Arabia’s first special logistics zone.
Located beside King Khalid International Airport, it is built for supply chain, distribution, light manufacturing, and value-added services, with direct airside access and a bonded corridor to the airport.
But the zone is activity led.
The 50-year tax relief and the customs and VAT treatment apply only to qualifying logistics activities carried out inside the zone. A UK business needs to confirm its activity fits before it commits, because income earned outside the qualifying scope is taxed at the standard rate.
At Gatestone Group, we help make the process clearer and easier to manage. From confirming eligibility to preparing documents, arranging the licence, coordinating with banks, and guiding you through each step, our team supports you throughout the setup process.

Zone Incentives
A 0% corporate income tax rate for up to 50 years on qualifying income from zone activities.
Exemptions from withholding tax and VAT on qualifying activities, alongside customs duty suspension inside the zone.
100% foreign ownership with no share capital requirement for zone entities.
Relief from labour nationalisation requirements during the first five years of operation.
Our Riyadh Integrated Setup Process
We start by understanding your activity, whether it sits in logistics, distribution, light manufacturing, or value-added services, and how you plan to use the zone. This helps us confirm whether your business qualifies for the zone and its incentives.
We guide you on the right entity, the incentives your activity can access, and the conditions attached to them. The goal is to structure for the benefits your qualifying income actually earns, not the headline figures.
Our team helps you prepare and organise the documents required for the licence. This may include attested corporate documents, shareholder and director details, board resolutions, powers of attorney, activity descriptions, and facility or lease documents.
Once the documents are ready, we support the licence application, follow up with the authority, and guide you through corporate banking, visas, and tax registration. We then support the ongoing filings the zone requires, including separate financial records and e-invoicing.

- Why Choose Us
Why Choose Gatestone Group for Riyadh Integrated Setup?
A logistics zone setup can disappoint if your activity does not qualify for the 50-year relief you were counting on.
The incentives are tied to qualifying logistics income, and everything outside that scope is taxed normally.
Gatestone Group helps you approach the process in a structured way. We confirm eligibility, structure the entity, prepare the documentation, and coordinate banking so your application is clear, complete, and built around the incentives you qualify for.
Eligibility Confirmed First
We check that your activity qualifies for the zone and its incentives before you commit time or capital.
Document Preparation Support
We guide you on the attested corporate documents, resolutions, and activity approvals the authority requires.
Incentive-Focused Structuring
We help you structure so qualifying logistics income is positioned correctly for the tax and customs relief.
Support Beyond the Licence
We continue supporting you with banking, visas, tax registration, compliance, and renewals.
Build Your Saudi Logistics Base With Confidence
Riyadh Integrated offers a strong platform for UK businesses in logistics, distribution, and light manufacturing.
But the relief follows qualifying activity, and the framework needs the right structure, attested documents, and correct handling of customs and tax.
Gatestone Group helps you move through the process with practical guidance, organised documentation, and clear support at every step.
