Executive Rule No. 38 stipulates the tax treatment for bank interest, letter of guarantee commissions, and insurance paid abroad by an Incorporated Body. It outlines conditions for deductibility, accepting locally paid interest on loans for primary activities while requiring interest on capital financing to be capitalised. The rule disallows interest charged by a head office or agent. Commissions on letters of guarantee and insurance premiums paid abroad are only permitted under specific circumstances, such as being directly linked to a taxable project in Kuwait.
