Travel ban on ‘royals' lifted
KUWAIT CITY, July 8: The Ministers Court has lifted the travel ban imposed on Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad and Sheikh Mubarak Al-Hamoud -- defendants in the high-profile 'secret expenses' case related to the Ministry of Defense. The court took this decision after the defendants paid the amounts owed in the case. The decision was announced in a court session held to review a request submitted by the defense lawyer. The defendants affirmed their commitment to fulfill their financial obligations, prompting the court to conclude that the legal grounds for maintaining the travel ban no longer exist. The case has undergone successive developments, as it continues to examine the facts. Court proceedings have been adjourned until Sept 8, when some defense witnesses are scheduled to be summoned for testimony and pleadings. The decision to lift the travel ban was taken amid the ongoing trial being heard by the Ministers Court -- the court in charge of adjudicating cases in which the accused hold high positions, under Law No. 88/1995 on the trial of ministers

Kuwait-Saudi tax law takes effect, prevents double taxation
KUWAIT CITY, July 7: The Government of Kuwait has officially issued Decree-Law No. 80 of 2025, approving a significant bilateral agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia aimed at avoiding double taxation on income and curbing tax evasion and avoidance. The agreement, originally signed in Riyadh on December 4, 2024, represents a key step in strengthening economic and financial cooperation between the two neighboring Gulf states. The decree, which took effect upon its publication in the Official Gazette on Sunday, provides a comprehensive framework to ensure that individuals and entities operating across both countries are not unfairly taxed twice on the same income, while enhancing transparency and compliance with international tax standards. Article One of the agreement outlines the individuals and entities to whom the provisions apply. It includes specific measures for income generated through entities or arrangements, ensuring that income is taxed appropriately according to its source and nature. Article Two details the types of taxes covered under the agreement. It is not limited to existing tax regimes but extends to any future taxes imposed by either government after the agreement's signing date, providing flexibility for evolving fiscal policies. Articles 6 through 20 cover a wide range of income sources, detailing the tax treatment for: Income from immovable propertyn Business profitsn Maritime, air, and land transportationn Joint venturesn Dividends and interest on debt claimsn Royalties and technical service incomen Capital gainsn Independent and dependent personal servicesn Fees for board members, artists, and athletesn Pensions and remuneration from government servicen These articles establish clear rules on how income derived from cross-border activities will be taxed, thereby reducing the risk of legal uncertainties or double tax burdens for taxpayers in both nations. Articles 21 and 22 of the agreement provide exemptions for specific categories. Teachers, researchers, students, and trainees from either country will not be subject to income taxes under this agreement, supporting educational and cultural exchanges and professional development. The issuance of this decree reflects Kuwait's continued commitment to aligning with international tax practices and fostering regional cooperation. By formalizing this agreement with Saudi Arabia, both countries aim to create a more predictable and transparent tax environment that benefits individuals, businesses, and investors operating across their borders.
