KUWAIT – Expatriates sending money abroad will soon be paying taxes after the Kuwaiti Parliament's financial and economic affairs committee approved a bill on the matter.
Committee chairperson Salah Khorshed saind on Sunday that the commission approved the bill with the consent of two-thirds of the members.
Taxes to be imposed on money transfers of low-income expatriates must be low, Khorshed said.
The move to impose taxes on remittances is forecast to bring 70 million dinars ($233 million) of revenue for Kuwait.
According to proposed laws, taxes range from 1 percent to five percent, depending on an expat's salary range.
