Saudi Arabia will not cancel expat fees
- Saudi Arabia: Wednesday, January 09 - 2013 at 03:28
Saudi labour minister Adel Fakeih has ruled out plans to withdraw the SR2,400 levy imposed on private companies that employ foreigners in excess of Saudis, Arab News has reported. The main objective of the SR2,400 fee was to bridge the gap between the cost of employing expatriates and Saudis, raising the cost of foreign labour. "This is not a ministry decision, it's a cabinet decision," he added. The amount collected from private firms would not be added to the state treasury, but would rather be redistributed among the firms that implement Saudization, he said.
