The General Tax Authority (GTA) announced that the companies and entities wholly owned by Qataris and other GCC nationals that are exempt from corporate income tax,

and the companies with a non-Qatari partner, shall submit their tax returns for the fiscal year 2021, no later than April 30, 2022. The submission of both "simplified" tax returns and tax returns audited by a certified accounting firm shall be done via Dhareeba tax portal www.dhareeba.qa. All companies shall also attach their final accounts when filing tax returns.

The General Tax Authority called on all Qatari companies to submit their 2021 tax return before April 30 to avoid financial penalties according to the Income Tax Law and its executive regulations, which stipulate that all companies and permanent establishments, wholly owned by Qataris and GCC nationals, exempt from corporate income tax, must submit their tax returns timely.

As part of its endeavors to enhance tax compliance, GTA stresses that all companies must submit their tax returns, adding that the tax system benefits these companies and helps them improve their institutional efficiency, governance, performance, and profitability.
