Qatar and Kuwait Sign Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement to Boost Investment

Qatar, 2 June, 2025 : Qatar and Kuwait have signed a bilateral agreement to avoid double taxation, aiming to strengthen economic ties, encourage investment flows, and remove barriers to capital movement between the two countries.

The agreement was signed in Kuwait by Qatar’s Minister of Finance, H.E. Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, and Kuwait’s Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment, H.E. Eng. Noura Suleiman Al-Fusam, during an official ceremony attended by senior officials.

The pact sets a clear legal framework to regulate income tax, covering areas such as international transport, joint ventures, dividends, interest, and royalties. It also ensures the exchange of verified financial information in line with global transparency standards.

This move reinforces both nations' commitment to deeper Gulf economic integration and the creation of a fair, stable environment for sustainable growth.
