Aqid ERP1. It follows Kuwait's tax rules
Kuwait has no VAT. Look instead for clean statements for Zakat, NLST or corporate tax where they apply to you, and books an auditor can follow.
2. E-invoicing
There is no e-invoicing mandate in Kuwait today. Bilingual invoices with numbering that cannot be edited later are the standard to hold to.
3. Payroll
Payroll is where the compliance work is: PIFSS contributions for Kuwaiti staff and the end-of-service indemnity under the Labour Law, accrued every month.
4. Currency and decimals
Amounts in KWD to three decimals: a system built for two will round and drift.
5. Arabic that is not an afterthought
Every screen, report and printed document should read right to left in Arabic as well as in English, with the Arabic text a native speaker would write. Try printing an invoice in both languages before you decide.
6. Your data, your accountant
Books should never be edited after the fact: corrections are new entries, with an audit trail. Check that you can export everything, and that your accountant can work inside your books with their own login and a role you choose.
7. The price, in your currency
Compare the price for the plan you will actually need in a year, in KWD, with users, companies and payroll employees included. Aqid ERP's plans in Kuwait start at KWD 6.5 a month, and you can start free.
