As part of its ongoing efforts to develop the tax services ecosystem and enhance its effectiveness, the General Tax Authority (GTA) announced the availability of the direct application of double taxation avoidance agreements service.

The service aims to enable eligible entities to directly benefit from the advantages of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements, through simplified procedures and clear standards that enhance efficiency and transparency.

This service allows authorised entities to apply reduced withholding tax rate or exemptions from withholding tax when making payments to non-resident beneficiaries, in line with the provisions of the applicable tax treaties between Qatar and the beneficiaries’ countries of tax residence. This contributes to faster procedures, reduced complexity, and improved tax compliance.
