No general VAT yet — Qatar GTA invoicing rules and 10% Corporate Tax on foreign-owned entities

State of Qatar invoicing & compliance guidance

Qatar has not yet introduced VAT. The General Tax Authority (GTA) still requires all registered businesses to issue sequenced invoices in Qatari Riyal (QAR) supporting Corporate Income Tax records. VAT legislation has been drafted and industry consultations continue — most advisers expect implementation within the current planning cycle.

What Qatari businesses need to know

Preparing for Qatar VAT

Businesses in Doha, Lusail and the QFC should already be issuing structured invoices in QAR, storing records for at least 10 years, and using ERP fields that can flip on VAT rate, VAT amount and net columns when the law commences.

QFC-licensed entities

Qatar Financial Centre firms follow their own corporate tax rules but still issue standard invoices for domestic supplies. Bilingual (Arabic/English) invoices remain best practice for government tenders.

Do Qatari businesses need to charge VAT today?
