Saudi to cancel subsidies on 7 services
(MENAFN) The government is expected to remove subsidies on seven services and enforce the new visa regime, besides the fees on municipal services, with effect from the new Hijri year, corresponding to Oct. 2.
The government had subsidized the seven services by 50 percent and the same was extended by the Cabinet three years ago, local media reported on Saturday.
The seven services that will no more be subsidized are ports, passports, car driving license, car transfer, traffic violations, renewal of residence permits (iqama) for domestic workers and tariff (customs) protection for 193 commodities.
In August, the Cabinet approved imposition of fees on municipal services and asked the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs to issue, within 90 days of the issuance of the decision, by-laws and necessary decisions to implement the fees.
