Our services in Qatar
Corporate income tax
Income Tax Law No. 24 of 2018 charges 10% on the profits of the foreign-owned share of a company. Profits attributable to Qatari and GCC owners are generally exempt, but the company must still file a return. Returns are filed on Dhareeba within four months of the year-end.
Withholding and excise tax
Payments to non-residents for services, royalties and certain other income can carry withholding tax. Excise tax applies to tobacco, energy and sweetened drinks and some other goods. Qatar has not yet introduced VAT.
Audit and large groups
Many taxpayers must attach audited financial statements to their tax return. Qatar has introduced rules for the global minimum tax for large multinational groups, and transfer pricing rules apply to related-party transactions.
Companies
Companies are set up through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, or in the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), which has its own tax and company rules.
