🇰🇼 Kuwait · Tax System

Corporate tax, VAT/GST, personal income tax, capital gains, and filing obligations.

  • Foreign companies are taxed at a flat 15% on Kuwait-source income.
  • There is no personal income tax and no VAT yet.
  • Kuwaiti and GCC-owned companies are subject to zakat/other contributions rather than CIT.
