Kuwait has no personal income tax. But Burgan's cross-border wires and multi-currency entries still need a structured export — for parent-group filings, related-party disclosure, or the 15% foreign corporate tax.
Convert your Burgan statementBurgan Bank is conventional and KIPCO-affiliated, with subsidiaries in Iraq, Tunisia, and Turkey. Its statements often carry international wires with correspondent BIC codes, and occasionally multi-currency entries (KWD + USD) on the same account. That makes the source data richer than a domestic-only bank — and easier to misclassify if you re-key by hand.
The bilingual A4 PDF is text-layer. KWD is rendered to three decimal places. Kashfbank preserves the fil-level precision, the original Arabic narration, and the SWIFT BIC that sits inside the description column.
Foreign-owned entities pay 15% corporate tax on Kuwait-source income. Burgan statements prove inbound revenue and identify outbound related-party transfers — both of which DIT auditors trace against the declared return.
Group-level filings in jurisdictions that do tax personal income (US, UK, India) often need the Burgan statement as a subsidiary-level source. The CSV makes the reconciliation possible in Excel or a real ledger.

Pull the statement for your tax period
From Burgan Bank Mobile, request the bilingual statement covering your filing period. Most Kuwait corporates file Jan–Dec Gregorian.
Upload to Kashfbank
The PDF goes in as-is. KWD's three decimals survive, and SWIFT BICs stay in the Description column instead of leaking into the balance.
Categorise wires, KNet, and fees
Filter by Category to isolate inbound revenue wires from KNet spend, internal moves, and service fees. Each row keeps its Arabic label for the audit trail.
Export and reconcile
Download as Excel or CSV. Sum credits for revenue, debits for expense. The 3-decimal totals reconcile against your trial balance or your group's consolidation file.
Common challenges
Kuwait has no income tax. Why convert at all?
Foreign-owned entities pay 15% corporate tax. Group parents in the US, UK, or India need the Burgan statement as a subsidiary source. Related-party disclosure for outbound wires also needs structured data.
Does the export keep 3-decimal KWD precision?
Yes. 12.500 stays 12.500. The third decimal (the fil) is essential when reconciling against group invoices or the DIT-submitted revenue figure.
What happens when a Burgan row mixes KWD and USD?
Multi-currency rows are extracted with the original currency tagged per row. Your accountant can filter or convert at a single rate, rather than re-keying line by line.
Are the correspondent BIC codes preserved?
Yes. The SWIFT BIC stays in the Description column even on long narrations where Burgan's PDF layout sometimes wraps it onto the next visual line.
