    • If the partner is operating outside of KSA, withholding tax (WHT) should be deducted:

      • 15% for apps

      • 5% for themes

    • If the partner is operating inside KSA and is eligible for VAT, a 15% VAT amount must be added to the total.


Payouts Settlement

Partners will receive a notification of a new released payout for all successful purchases that occurred in the previous month. Here's how the process works:

  1. On the 6th day of each month, a new payout record for the previous month will be created with a Pending status.

  2. The partner must upload the corresponding invoice within 5 days.

  3. Once the invoice is uploaded, the status will transition to In Review.

    • Any invoices submitted after the 14th (not accounting for weekends) will be processed in the following month.

  4. Once finance confirms the uploaded invoice and proceeds with payment, the partner will be informed about the settlement.

  5. If the invoice is rejected, the partner will be informed about the rejection reason and will have the opportunity to re-upload the invoice. The same cycle will begin again.


Eligible Taxes (VAT & WHT)

  • Value-Added Tax (VAT):

    • Partners operating in Saudi Arabia must provide an active VAT certificate, ensuring the company CR matches the provided certificate.

    • The VAT amount (15%) will be automatically calculated for the partner’s payout and added directly to the invoice.

  • Withholding Tax (WHT):

    • Partners operating outside Saudi Arabia are required to pay WHT:

      • 15% for app partners

      • 5% for theme partners

    • The WHT amount will be automatically calculated for the partner’s payout and deducted from the invoice.
