One of the challenges of expanding across borders is learning how to set up payroll. You have to decide between multiple Kuwait payroll options, learn a whole set of labor laws, and make sure you’re complying with the country’s tax regulations. Fortunately, G-P makes it easier to expand to new locations with industry-leading Employer of Record (EOR) solutions.
Taxation rules in Kuwait
科威特沒有任何個人所得稅。 然而，雇主和員工都必須為社會安全貢獻員工薪資的 19.5%。 Employers pay 11.5% of that, and the employee pays 8% up to a salary ceiling of KD 2,750 a month. All international companies need to pay a corporate tax rate of 15%.
Kuwait payroll options for companies
There are 3 different Kuwait payroll options to choose, including:
- Internal: You can create an internal payroll if you have a Kuwait subsidiary. However, you’ll need to hire a full HR team and ensure you have an expert in compliance on your team if you choose this option.
- Kuwait payroll processing company: Choosing to work with a Kuwait payroll processing company will ensure that you don’t have to worry about paying employees. 但是，您仍然必須擔心合規性。
- Employer of Record (EOR): With an EOR like G-P, you won’t have to worry about anything because we’ll add employees to our compliant payroll and manage all matters of compliance, so you can focus on your business.
How to set up a payroll in Kuwait
You can’t set up your Kuwait payroll until you have a registered subsidiary in the country, which means it could take months or even a year before you can hire your first professional. G-P doesn’t have the same requirements — you can use our EOR solutions to start working immediately. We’ll also handle all employment compliance on your behalf.
權限/終止條款
在科威特終止聘僱合約是一項極為複雜的任務。 您可以使用試用期，但不得超過 100 個工作天。 If you’re using an indefinite period employment contract and paying employees on a monthly basis, both you and the employee can terminate the contract with 3 months’ notice. You also need to pay employees an amount equal to 15 days of remuneration for their first 5 years of service and 1 month’s remuneration for every year after that, not exceeding 1.5 years’ remuneration.
