A Critical Analysis of VAT Dispute Mechanisms: The Function of Legal Tax Committees in Saudi Arabia.
(Washington University in St. Louis, 2024-05-03) Alghanmi, Mohammed; Block, Cheryl
This study aims to explain the Saudi legal system, its three critical sources of power, and the country's relationship with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. In particular, this research uses the application of value-added tax in general and its specific implementation in Saudi Arabia under the framework of the Kingdom's 2030 vision as an opportunity to explore these more significant issues. It also aims to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the current system for adjudicating value-added tax disputes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and provide recommendations for effective dispute resolution. To achieve this objective, the research will assess the effectiveness of Saudi Arabia's current tax committee system by comparing it with analogous structures in Arab (the United Arab Emirates and Morocco) and non-Arab (Germany and Australia) jurisdictions. Additionally, the study will explore the potential benefits of integrating a public judicial phase into Saudi Arabia's VAT dispute resolution framework, aiming to foster a more efficient resolution pathway for such disputes.

This MA long annotated translation project delves into the profound realm of ancient Egyptian funerary traditions and religious beliefs through the translation of "An Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Sobekmose" by Paul F. O’Rourke. The objective is to provide readers with a nuanced and culturally resonant insight into the Egyptian conception of the afterlife. The chosen text, with its intricate blend of religious doctrines and funerary rituals, offers a unique window into the spiritual fabric of ancient Egyptian society.

Special attention is given to rendering terms related to the Egyptian pantheon, such as Osiris, Nephthys, and Isis, in a manner that captures both their linguistic essence and cultural significance. The exploration of the Ba, Ka, Ren, Akh, and other components of the soul within Egyptian mythology further enriches the reader's understanding of the intricate interplay between life and the afterlife. By employing translation strategies that balance linguistic accuracy with cultural sensitivity, this long annotated translation aims to transport readers into the heart of ancient Egyptian beliefs. The resulting translated text not only unveils the subtleties of religious practices but also contributes to a broader scholarly understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization and its profound insights into the mysteries of existence and beyond.

Analysing the Branding Strategies of Saudi Cities
(Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Alghanmi, Mohammed; Nick, Dunn
Background In recent years, many cities have started using branding to improve how they are seen, bring in investment, attract tourists, and make local people feel proud. One reason for this is the growing competition between cities. Another reason is globalisation, which is making cities look more similar, so branding helps them show what makes them special. As cities around the world become more alike in infrastructure and lifestyle, branding helps emphasise unique cultural, historical, or environmental qualities to differentiate one city from another. Today, cities are no longer seen as only physical spaces; they are also understood as complex identities shaped by narratives, symbols, and strategic communication (Anholt, 2016, Dinnie, 2011). As part of Vision 2030, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is working to grow its economy and show its culture to the world. To support this, the country is developing and branding many cities, both new and old, to show a modern and creative image that also respects Saudi traditions. Cities like NEOM, AlUla, and Diriyah show how the Kingdom wants to become a global destination while keeping its cultural identity.
