Kuwait City [Kuwait], December 25: The Kuwaiti Cabinet endorsed on Tuesday a draft resolution on issuing a law imposing a 15-percent tax on multinational entities, which have business in more than one country or a state.
This move was taken during its weekly meeting held at Bayan Palace under chairmanship of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.
The law, which is in line with global taxes' standards, aims to curb tax evasion and prevent sending tax revenues to other countries.
