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.

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 yetNo 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.
