In a significant move to strengthen Qatar’s investment climate and diversify its economy, the Cabinet has approved a draft resolution that grants a tax incentive on capital gains arising from corporate restructuring within the same group of companies.
Mr. Khalifa bin Jassim Al-Jaham Al-Kuwari, President of the General Tax Authority, welcomed the resolution as a strategic step aligned with Qatar’s broader national economic goals. He emphasized that the initiative will foster a more dynamic and competitive business environment by modernizing the tax system and aligning it with global best practices.
“This decision enhances the appeal of Qatar’s market as a stable and secure destination for investment,” said Al-Kuwari. “It encourages companies to go public, supports their growth, and strengthens investor confidence in our economy.”
The newly approved resolution provides an exemption on capital gains derived from internal restructuring or the exchange of assets within holding companies. The policy is designed to:
- Encourage corporate listings on the financial market,
- Stimulate foreign investment,
- Improve business flexibility, and
- Promote sustainable institutional growth.
Al-Kuwari highlighted that the incentive is a direct response to the evolving needs of the Qatari business community. It reflects the government’s commitment to deploying flexible, forward-thinking tax policies as tools for long-term economic competitiveness.
The General Tax Authority reaffirmed its dedication to supporting national policies and development goals, particularly in areas of economic diversification, business innovation, and global market integration.
