Qatar- February 23, 2021:The Qatar General Tax Authority (GTA) on February 2, 2021, verbally confirmed that a Transfer Pricing Form will be required for taxpayers for the financial years January 1, 2020 onwards. Taxpayers in Qatar are required to submit a transfer pricing declaration using the new tax administration portal – Dhareeba.

The Dhareeba system is currently equipped to accept transfer pricing declarations. This is only applicable for taxpayers having a specified revenue or asset value exceeding a threshold limit which is expected to be set at QAR 10 million.

The Transfer Pricing Form will require information on the details and nature of the taxpayer’s intra-group transactions, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) method applied by the taxpayer to determine that the transactions were conducted on an arm’s-length basis. In addition to the above information, the Transfer Pricing Form will also require taxpayers to provide additional transfer pricing related information.

NOTE:

Dhareeba is an electronic system that connects the General Tax Authority and its partners from the relevant government agencies and taxpayers. It automatically calculates and process the various types of tax to assist taxpayers in managing their tax transactions, in accordance with the Qatari tax laws.
