Define Legal Authorities for Kuwait
A legal authority is a government or legal body charged with powers to make laws, levy and collect fees and taxes, and remit financial appropriations for a given jurisdiction. You can use the Manage Legal Authorities task to create legal authorities.
There are no predefined legal authorities. You must create a legal authority for each government entity, such as a local tax office, that has a relationship with the enterprise. Remember to register each legal entity you create with a legal authority.
