Circular of the GTA Chairman No. 3 of 2020
Regarding the Issuance of Tax Card

M/s. Taxpayers and Auditors' Offices
Al-Doha

With reference to Article 25 of the Council of Ministers Decision No. 39 of 2019 on the issuance of the Executive Regulations of the Income Tax Law, which stipulates the obligation of taxpayers to register with the GTA and apply for a tax card on the form prepared for that purpose within 60 days from the date of obtaining the approval of the competent authority to practice the activity or from the registration date in the commercial register, or from the first day of income realization, or on the day of registration for other tax purposes.

In compliance with the best standards and in order to assist the taxpayers, we would like to inform you that it has been decided to simplify the registration procedures and the issuance of the tax card for new taxpayers, as the tax card has been linked to the commercial register.

Accordingly, taxpayers are not obliged to attend the GTA in person to carry out the registration and issuance of the tax card. However, the process will be carried out automatically at the same time as the registration in the Commercial Register at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The GTA is ready to respond to your inquiries about the above via e-mail: taxpayer.services@gta.gov.qa.

This circular shall enter into force as of its date.

Best Regards,

//Signature Affixed//

General Tax Authority Chairman
