In Kuwait, social security deductions are not applicable to the taxable income calculation for individuals, primarily because Kuwait does not levy personal income tax on its citizens or residents. The absence of personal income tax means that deductions typically associated with social security contributions do not affect the calculation of taxable income. This is in line with Kuwait's tax regime, which is designed to distribute the wealth generated from its vast oil resources among its citizens while attracting expatriates with tax-free income opportunities.
