The Ministry of Commerce announced the launch of an exceptional discount season for three months, which will not be counted within the annual balance of discount days allowed for commercial establishments. This step aims to enable establishments and online stores to offer promotions on products and services, according to a circular addressed to the Saudi Chambers Federation.

According to the ministry's circular, the exceptional season begins on August 1, 2026, and continues until October 31, 2026. This period is considered exceptional and does not affect the annual balance of discount days.

The ministry clarified that commercial establishments and online stores can apply for discount license issuance electronically through its website, enabling easy issuance, printing, and presentation of the licenses to consumers.

The ministry urged establishments to benefit from the season while adhering to the regulations and controls governing discounts, while the Saudi Chambers Federation encouraged private sector establishments to participate and engage with the season to achieve its goals and benefits for the business sector and consumers.

According to the approved discount licensing mechanism, the ministry confirmed that establishments are entitled to make discounts not exceeding 90 days per year, which can be divided into three periods, with each license duration not exceeding 45 days for comprehensive and partial discounts.
