You need quit embarrassing yourself. You have been harping how "NOT taxing people is unsustainable" - a clueless opinion at best.
Really? Are you really gonna continue to be hostile? Fine, two can play it that game.
First of all, try and use your brain, and read the entire context. Don't cherrypick, like a moron. The only one embarrassing themselves here is you.
VAT is scheduled by 2018 across the GCC, although we (UAE), might push it off for a couple of years.p
I'm talking specifically KSA, not the entire GCC or even the UAE. Or are you suggesting that the UAE is a subject of KSA?
Solar is already on the move:

You have my hearth felt sympathies. Please continue making clueless statements.
Except that those projects are nowhere near enough to the levels that were suggested. 10MW-500MW projects, these are nowhere near enough to cover even a nth amount of KSA's needs.
Hardly 1000MW, and it's taken them decades to even get to this point. After all that talk about having 10,000-50,000MWs by 2020, they've only covered around 1%.
Puh-lease. If you wanna be taken seriously, at least read your own sources.
The Saudis were suppose to invest over $100 billion in solar, but they've kept delaying it. I think they delayed it by 8-10 years, just last year.
Next time, keep things civil, and don't talk in such a rude manner. Calling other people sheep, and saying they're being taken for a ride; ridiculous.
With these posts you are just proving to the world how dumb you really are. You can sit howl and cry, that an un-taxing regime is "unsustainable," because you yourself have to pay taxes through your nose. You are beginning to look like the typical indian, better shape up!
You know, I use to have a bit of respect for you, but your constant insults prove just ow misplaced my respect was. Instead of addressing my points, you keep on insulting me, and repeating yourself.
Using logical fallacies, like strawman, won't get you anywhere. it just goes to makes my point look more valid.
VAT - I mentioned UAE because VAT was supposed to be implemented across the GCC simultaneously, but you opened your mouth and showed how clueless you really are. THANKS!!!
Again, completely ignored what I said.
Saudi Solar- What they are doing, are not doing, how does it effect you? They are working on nuclear as well, maybe solar is NOT their priority. Who are you to dictate, or question how they produce energy? Oh I forgot, your that "nobody" freezing his behind off looking at mooses, and paying taxes through his nose to look at mooses.!!
We're on an internet forum, we can talk about what we like, as long as it doesn't break forum rules. The topic is about KSA's economy, and their solar power projects are linked to their economy, thus why it was brought up.
Insulting me won't get you anywhere, it just makes you look like a child.
Keep it up Mr. Nobody, you're looking good!!
Next time don't go crying around why people aren't paying taxes, it's not like you have to pay for them!
Talking sense would help!!!
Speaking of talking sense, try recording what your wrote, and hearing it. I think you'll only hear nonsense.
Problem is not money its the socio economic system which is now being hit .Regarding Taxes there is goinf to be VAT Very soon probably 2017 ,point remains Will Saudi Arabia has certain means to diversify its economy .I leave it to experts as this is a big question its not going to happen over a night you need people/expertise/professionals so its quite complicated .In short run this measure will work hoepfully
My points exactly.
