The government is unlikely to implement VAT any time soon due to the high inflation rate, and keeping in mind the global market turmoil triggered by recent developments, the media platforms said, citing sources.
The VAT system is likely to be rejected by both the national assembly and the people of #Kuwait, they said. Hence, the government is now considering the implementation of an excise tax system.
According to a study launched by the government, the selective tax rate will range from 10 to 25 per cent.
Sources expected that the selective tax will earn the government about 500 million dinars annually.
