Managing a Compliant Business in Qatar and Beyond – Avoid Corporate Regulatory and Tax Headaches

With our partner Mazars Qatar - Exclusive to our CFO Club members.

The Tax and Corporate Regulatory landscape in Qatar, across the GCC and Middle East Region and internationally (with impacts on Businesses and individuals in Qatar) is rapidly evolving.  The Summer months have seen quite some developments and non-compliance with updated Regulatory and Tax obligations can lead to penalties (machine-triggered), suspension or cancellations of CRs, other blocks to the normal conducting of business and now even joint liabilities and imprisonment of Corporate Management.

The CCIFQ, in partnership with Mazars in Qatar, organizes a business breakfast for its members to understand the relevant aspects of the Regulatory and Tax obligations in Qatar as these have developed over the last period.  You will receive a clear and practical overview of the Compliance landscape and obligations, including insights on the actual application and approach by The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) and the General Tax Authority (GTA).

Amongst others, we will cover :

• Expected changes and updates to Tax returns and overall compliance
• What has changed for Qatari owned businesses and how to rectify any gaps in compliance
• Transfer Pricing
• Regulatory compliance and pitfalls to avoid in setting up, running and liquidating a company
• Contract registration
• Ultimate Beneficial Owner registers
• Expected Corporate Tax and Withholding Tax developments and what to plan (or not) for
• Update on the “VAT story” for Qatar  
• The often forgotten taxes in Qatar
• Sector specific updates for Regulatory Compliance (Financial services, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, Retail, Hospitality, Transport etc)

The Business breakfast session will take 90 mins, including a Q&A opportunity.

Moderators :

• Philippe Norre (Head of Tax and Corporate Services, Mazars in Qatar)
• Joseph Zeitoun (Manager, Tax Services at Mazars in Qatar)
