Article 7 of the Saudi Advertising Boards Rules

Article 7 sets the fate of the money collected from advertising and publicity boards, and distinguishes between two kinds of bodies:

• Amanahs, municipalities and rural complexes: the fees and rents they collect are counted as their own self-generated revenues, that is, they stay with them.
• Other government bodies: the fees and rents they collect are counted as general revenues, deposited at the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency for the account of the Ministry of Finance and National Economy (according to the names used in the text).

The article speaks of two kinds of amounts: fees, which are paid for the boards, and rents, which are paid for leasing the sites. It is linked to Article 6, which allocates the leasing of board sites to bodies including the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, the Roads General Authority, the General Presidency of Youth Welfare, the General Ports Organization, the General Presidency of Civil Aviation and the General Railways Organization. So the rents for sites that the municipalities collect stay with them, and what other bodies among these collect is general revenue.

This article is a financial arrangement between government bodies and does not place a new obligation on the advertiser or the advertising company, who pays the competent body as the other articles specify. A person who needs to understand the financial aspects of an advertising contract with a government body may consult a lawyer specializing in administrative cases and government contracts.
