KUWAIT: A document issued by the Finance Ministry revealed that Kuwait does not enjoy a modern taxing system that enables it to face challenges and achieve the desired goals in the development plan. It insisted on making tangible changes in the growth rates in the general revenues' structure and increase non-oil revenues, besides upgrading the systems that link between state departments so they can work to boost integration. Furthermore, the document said that the ministry completed a proposed tender in regards to the development of systems and tax management, adding that the tender is being presented to concerned authorities.
