Austria’s Council of Ministers has approved a protocol to amend the 2002 tax treaty with Kuwait. 

The Austrian Council of Ministers has approved the signing of a protocol amending the 2002 income and capital tax treaty with Kuwait on 4 June 2025.

A tax treaty, or double tax agreement, is a deal between two countries to prevent the same income from being taxed twice, covering taxes like income, inheritance, and VAT.

The protocol marks the first change to the treaty and requires finalisation, signature, and ratification before it can take effect.
