Notes
Income Tax
There is no personal income tax imposed on individuals in Kuwait.
VAT
Kuwait has not implemented a VAT. The GCC VAT framework agreement remains under legislative discussion, and no VAT or general sales tax is currently levied.
Capital Gains Tax
Kuwait levies no personal income tax on individuals, and accordingly no tax on individual capital gains.
Crypto Tax
Kuwait imposes no personal income tax on individuals at all, so gains individuals realize on disposing of cryptocurrency are not taxed.
Wealth Tax
No net wealth/worth tax levied. Kuwait's Individual - Other taxes page on PWC has no dedicated net wealth/worth taxes subsection (covers only social security contributions; Kuwait also levies no personal income tax); PWC's consolidated cross-country quick chart lists Kuwait as "NA" (not applicable).
