No personal income tax in Kuwait, but Zakat, the 15% foreign corporate tax, and Sharia-screened investment income all need a clean KFH record. Convert in seconds.
Convert your KFH statementKuwait Finance House is Sharia-compliant. That changes how the statement is read for tax purposes. Murabaha installments are financing outflows, not interest expense. Wakala profit distributions are investment returns, not riba-based interest. Zakat — which KFH calculates and pays automatically for some account types — needs to be reconciled separately from any tax filing in another jurisdiction.
For foreign-owned entities banking at KFH, 15% corporate tax on Kuwait-source income still applies. For international parent companies consolidating a KFH-banked subsidiary, the converted statement is the audit trail back to the source PDF.
For Zakat: KFH offers "Zakat House" service for some account types, calculating and remitting 2.5% on qualifying balances at year-end. Converting your statement lets you reconcile the Zakat charge against the closing balance on the relevant Hijri or Gregorian date.
For Sharia-screened investment income: Wakala returns need to be reported as halal investment income in jurisdictions that recognise the distinction. The converted CSV tags Wakala profit separately from Murabaha and Ijara repayments, so each gets the right treatment in the receiving tax filing.
Every credit and debit with 3-decimal KWD, Islamic finance labels preserved, closing balance per period for Zakat base.
Formal A4 bilingual PDF. Islamic finance product type printed alongside transaction reference in narration column. KWD to 3 decimal places. Investment account summaries on a separate page from current account transactions. Multi-page statements include page subtotals.

Pull the statement covering your filing period
From KFH Online or KFH Mobile, request the full filing window. For Zakat, that's typically the lunar Hijri year; for foreign filings, Jan–Dec Gregorian.
Upload to Kashfbank
Bilingual A4 PDF goes in as-is. Murabaha, Ijara, and Wakala labels are preserved across every row.
Tag Islamic finance lines separately
Filter by Category. Murabaha, Ijara, and Wakala each get their own bucket — separate from regular revenue and expense lines. This matters when the receiving jurisdiction asks for a clean income breakdown.
Export and reconcile against your filing
Download as Excel or CSV. Sum credits for revenue, Murabaha and Ijara debits for financing, Wakala profit for investment income. Each total reconciles to the fil against the source.
Common challenges
Does KFH calculate Zakat for me, and how does that appear in the statement?
KFH offers Zakat House service for some accounts, calculating 2.5% on qualifying balances annually. The Zakat debit appears with its own label in your statement — Kashfbank preserves it as a distinct line you can reconcile against the bank's Zakat advice slip.
How are Murabaha installments treated in tax filings?
Murabaha is cost-plus financing, not interest. In Kuwait it's a financing outflow. In a foreign jurisdiction that recognises Islamic finance (UK, parts of GCC), it can be treated as deductible financing cost — but how it's labelled in your books matters. Kashfbank keeps the original "قسط مرابحة" label.
Does the export keep KWD to three decimal places?
Yes. Every figure preserves all three decimals — essential for matching KFH's reported figures to the fil against your filings.
Can I separate Wakala investment income from Murabaha repayments?
Yes. Wakala profit ("عوائد وكالة") and Murabaha installments ("قسط مرابحة") each carry their own category tag. Filter to either independently.
