GTL Summary:

Article 33 of the KSA Income Tax Law stipulates the tax treatment for recouped expenses, losses, or previously allowed bad debts. If a taxpayer recovers any such amount that was previously deducted, the recouped sum must be included in the gross income for the tax year in which the recovery occurs. The article clarifies that this recouped amount will adopt the same character as the income to which the original expense was related. It further defines that an expense is considered recouped if the underlying basis for that expenditure ceases to exist, ensuring the tax base is adjusted accordingly.
