The Kuwaiti Cabinet has approved a draft decree-law imposing a 15% tax on multinational entities operating across multiple jurisdictions, aligning with global tax regulations. This law, aimed at curbing tax evasion and ensuring tax revenue retention, will take effect in Kuwait on January 1, 2025.
During its weekly meeting at Bayan Palace, chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah, the Cabinet also emphasized the importance of expediting infrastructure projects.
