The General Tax Authority (GTA) in Qatar has officially announced the tax return filing period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Filing will open on January 1, 2025, and the deadline to submit your returns is April 30, 2025.
This announcement applies to all entities subject to Qatar’s Income Tax Law (Law No. 24 of 2018), including tax-exempt companies, businesses fully owned by Qatari or GCC nationals, and those with non-Qatari partners. It’s important to note that even tax-exempt entities must file their returns to stay compliant with the law.
Submit Your Returns Online
Taxpayers are required to file their returns using Qatar’s Dhareeba tax portal, a digital platform designed to make the process easier and more efficient. With Dhareeba, you can save time, reduce paperwork, and get real-time updates on your filing status.
Prepare to Avoid Penalties

Even if your company is exempt from paying taxes, submitting a return is still mandatory. This is part of Qatar’s commitment to global tax transparency and best practices.
