For Qatar businesses preparing for e-invoicing.
Qatar does not have VAT, but e-invoicing is coming. Here is what is confirmed and what is not.
Qatar e-invoicing: the Council of Ministers approved a draft e-invoicing law on 6 May 2026. It still needs to complete the legislative process. A start in 2027 is expected but not confirmed, and the General Tax Authority has run a pilot with large companies.
