Kuwait continues to postpone the implementation of a broad-based Value Added Tax (VAT), deviating from the timeline originally envisioned by the GCC Common VAT Agreement. Instead, the government has shifted its immediate fiscal focus toward modernizing its corporate framework, notably enforcing a 15% Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) for large multinational enterprises alongside targeted excise taxes on select luxury and consumption goods. Furthermore, recent updates under the state budget executive regulations exempt DMTT-registered entities from traditional 5% tax retention rules on public contract payments, emphasizing administrative efficiency over standard indirect tax rollouts.

Kuwait has not implemented VAT. While the GCC Common VAT Agreement (2016) envisioned VAT at 5% across six GCC countries, Kuwait’s implementation has been postponed indefinitely.

How-To Guides: Kuwait's SaaS VAT

1단계 기준점

Kuwait has not yet introduced VAT under national implementation; therefore there is currently no VAT/GST registration threshold or VAT registration mechanism in effect.

 

Under the GCC VAT Framework, the standard expected threshold would align with other Member States (approx equivalent of SAR 375,000), but this is not yet in force.

 

2단계 사업자 등록

A SaaS business looking to operate in Kuwait must currently register for local corporate tax and other obligations (e.g., income tax/Zakat registration with Kuwait Ministry of Finance/Kuwait Tax Authority) per domestic tax law (not VAT).

단계: 3 TIN/VAT 번호

Since VAT is not yet implemented, Kuwait does not issue a VAT TIN/TRN; once implemented, the competent authority (Ministry of Finance/Kuwait Tax Authority) would issue a tax registration number.

1단계 표준 세율

Currently no VAT rate applies in Kuwait; under the GCC VAT Framework, a standard rate of 5 % and zero rates would be anticipated upon future implementation.

2단계 세율 계산식

If VAT is introduced:

 

Tax Amount = Net Price x 5% (delegated by GCC VAT Framework).

단계: 3 역외 과세 (B2B)

Under the GCC VAT Framework, cross-border B2B digital services would likely use a reverse charge mechanism where the resident B2B customer self-accounts for VAT; however, no national implementation exists yet.

1단계 B2C 판매

Once VAT is introduced, non-resident digital service providers supplying digital/SaaS services to Kuwaiti consumers would be required to register (no threshold for non-residents) and charge VAT on consumption in Kuwait per the GCC rules.

2단계 B2B 판매

Upon future VAT implementation, B2B sales to VAT-registered businesses under the GCC framework would likely not require VAT to be charged by the supplier and may instead require the reverse charge mechanism (customer accounts for VAT).

단계: 3 송장 요구 사항

(As anticipated under GCC Framework) each Member State will define invoice contents consistent with the GCC VAT Framework minimums — including:

  • 공급업체 이름
  • tax registration number
  • 송장 번호/날짜
  • 서비스 내역
  • taxable amount and VAT amount
  • customer details as appropriate;

 

However, Kuwait has not yet published specific invoice guidance.

1단계 신고 주기

As VAT is not yet in force, there is no current filing requirement. Under the anticipated regime, the GCC Framework expects Member States to adopt monthly or quarterly VAT return periods.

2단계 신고 마감일

To be determined by Kuwait’s VAT legislation once enacted.

단계: 3 제출

No VAT e-filing portal exists in Kuwait at present. Future VAT implementation would require an e-filing system managed by the Kuwait tax authority.

단계: 4 기록 유지

Under the GCC VAT Framework, Member States must define document retention periods; many GCC states adopt at least five years for records, but Kuwait’s specific requirement is pending implementation.
