Payroll & social security

The heart of Kuwaiti payroll is PIFSS for nationals and end-of-service indemnity for expats. bookeeper computes both from the salary bands.

Employee

10.5%

Employer

11.5%

Rules that matter

  • Kuwaiti nationals: employee ~10.5% and employer ~11.5%, on wages capped at KWD 2,750/month (with a supplementary band above KWD 1,500).
  • Expats: end-of-service indemnity — 15 days/year for the first 5 years, 30 days/year beyond, capped at 18 months' pay.
  • No personal income tax on salaries for anyone.

VAT

Tax in Kuwait

Kuwait has no VAT and no personal income tax — the GCC framework was signed but parliament has held it back, and it is not expected before 2028. bookeeper keeps your invoices clean and tax-free while staying ready to switch VAT on the day it lands.

Standard rate

No VAT

E-invoicing

No mandate yet

No national mandate yet

Kuwait has no e-invoicing system or timeline — VAT itself is still on hold. bookeeper keeps clean digital invoices today and is ready to connect the day a mandate is announced.

No broad consumption tax

There is no VAT to charge today; excise on tobacco, energy and soft drinks is only under study. The dinar's 3 decimals make precise rounding the thing to get right.
