At Par · Qatar
Does your Qatar company still file Corporate Tax — even at 0%?
Every company registered in Qatar needs a tax card and an annual return on Dhareeba, whether it owes tax or not. At Par keeps the books closed and audit-ready and prepares the return, so filing is a step, not a scramble.
An ACCA is accountable. The finance team you don't hire.
Yes. Every company in Qatar must obtain a tax card and file an annual return on the Dhareeba portal — even a Qatari or GCC-owned company that pays no Corporate Tax. Corporate Tax is 10% on the profit share owned by non-Qatari or non-GCC shareholders. At Par closes the books and prepares the return; you file.
What this means for your books.
Do I owe Corporate Tax, and on what?
Corporate Tax is 10%, and it applies to the share of profit owned by non-Qatari or non-GCC shareholders.
Under Income Tax Law No. 24 of 2018, Corporate Tax is a flat 10% of taxable income, charged on the portion attributable to foreign (non-Qatari, non-GCC) ownership. The Qatari and resident-GCC ownership share is exempt in proportion. Higher rates apply only to petroleum operations, not to service companies. Qatar has no VAT, so there is no VAT return to file.

We are Qatari-owned and pay no tax. Do we still file?
Yes. Exempt companies must still register on Dhareeba, hold a tax card, and file an annual return.
Being exempt from Corporate Tax does not remove the filing duty. A Qatari or GCC-owned company must still register on Dhareeba and submit its annual return; the GTA applies a QAR 10,000 penalty to an exempt company that fails to file. Every entity must also obtain a tax card within 60 days of commercial registration or commencement.

When is the return due, and what goes with it?
Within four months of your year-end — 30 April for a 31 December year-end — filed and paid on Dhareeba.
The Corporate Tax return and payment are due within four months of the fiscal year-end, through Dhareeba. Where your capital exceeds QAR 200,000 or total income exceeds QAR 500,000 (or your head office is outside Qatar), the return must be accompanied by audited financial statements, signed by your auditor. Late filing is QAR 500 per day; late payment is 2% of the tax per month.

Who keeps the books, and who files?
A qualified accountant (ACCA) is accountable for the books; you (or your tax agent) file on Dhareeba.

Asked by Qatar businesses.
Do you do audit? +
No. We do not provide audit or assurance services. At Par keeps your books closed, reconciled and audit-ready, and works alongside your auditor when audited financial statements are required — but the audit itself is theirs, not ours.
Does At Par file my return or move my money? +
No. At Par prepares your Corporate Tax return and the reconciled books behind it; you authorize and file on Dhareeba, and you make any payment to the GTA. At Par never moves your money, and a qualified accountant (ACCA) is accountable for the work.
What does it cost? +
Books start from QAR 1,900 a month. Books plus tax, which includes your Corporate Tax return, is QAR 3,900 a month, with full custom scopes available. You are priced against the hire, not the software, and you can start with a 30-day paid pilot.
Does At Par handle VAT in Qatar? +
Qatar has not introduced VAT, so there is no VAT return to file. At Par keeps your books and your Corporate Tax return ready, and keeps your records clean for the e-invoicing rules Qatar is preparing to introduce.
