The Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani on Monday issued Amiri Decision No 1 for 2019, appointing Ahmed Issa Rashid al Ibrahim al Mohannadi as Chairman of General Tax Authority (GTA).
The decision is to go into effect from the date of its issue and is to be published in the Official Gazette.
The General Tax Authority (GTA) will be in charge of implementing all tax laws and improving tax compliance in the country. GTA has been established as a separate entity, under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance, and is in line with Qatar’s plans to reduce the country’s dependence on hydrocarbon resources.
The law establishing the GTA mandates the authority to implement all tax laws and setup all related bylaws, procedures and instructions and be responsible for their implementation, review and assess tax return forms and collect taxes from subject entities.
It also mandates GTA to represent Qatar in relevant international and regional organisations and at international conferences and events and sign tax agreements with other countries to encourage economic cooperation and joint investments.
The GTA will regulate the work of the taxation system through financial instruments that positively influence the level of welfare of citizens and residents alike, as well as improve public services.
