Social Insurance Calculation for GCC Citizens

Social Insurance is applicable to all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) citizens.

The legislation was changed to have a reciprocal agreement between all 6 GCC countries, which are United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait (KW), Saudi Arabia (SA) Bahrain (BA), Sultanate of Oman (OM) and Qatar (QA).

The Employee Social Insurance Calculation Card captures these additional details as well:

• Any additional personal details based on localization, for example, Exception Type in UAE.

• Whether or not it has been agreed that the country of citizenship will pay any difference in contributions.

Note: Keep in mind that Currency Conversion Rate across the country of citizenship and country of employment must be considered for SI calculation for GCC citizens working in Kuwait. You must set up conversion rates before processing SI for GCC citizens.

You can use the additional balances provided to manage contributory salary when calculating social insurance contributions between employees and employers working in Kuwait.
