Qatar and Kuwait sign tax agreement to boost economic ties
RIYADH: Qatar and Kuwait have signed an agreement to eliminate double taxation and prevent tax evasion and avoidance, aiming to enhance economic coordination and commercial ties. The accord seeks to establish a legal framework to eliminate all forms of double taxation on income and to reinforce bilateral cooperation in tax matters by aligning with international standards, the Qatar News Agency reported. The deal was signed by Qatari Minister of Finance Ali bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari and Kuwaiti Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment Noura Sulaiman Al-Fassam.

Qatar enforces a flat 10 percent corporate income tax, while Kuwait applies a 15 percent tax on profits earned by foreign companies operating in the country. 'This agreement will contribute to supporting international standards of transparency through the exchange of verified financial information, as part of both countries' commitment to strengthening coordination and cooperation in tax matters and economic relations,' Al-Kuwari said during the signing, as quoted by QNA.
