What the pack carries

Charts of accountsWhat a company installs, and who each chart is published for.
  • default (default) — 107 accounts, for companies
TaxesHow many the pack carries, at which distinct rates, and which treatments it can express.
2 taxes at rates of 0
not_subject
Periodic declarationThe form the accounts are read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.
no periodic return declared
When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.
no declaration to be due
The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.
no declaration to deposit
Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
no profile — no obligation in law

No Qatari law in force obliges a business to issue or accept an electronic invoice (consulted 10 October 2026). On 6 May 2026 the Council of Ministers approved a DRAFT law on electronic invoicing and its implementing regulations, prepared by the Ministry of Finance with the General Tax Authority; the draft was still to pass the Shura Council and receive the Amir's assent, and this pack's research found no sign that it has been promulgated or published in the Official Gazette (the almeezan.qa legal portal could not be opened). It names no technical model, platform, scope, threshold or go-live date, and industry commentary pointing to a phased start from 1 January 2027, large taxpayers first, is expectation and not an official date. `obligation` is therefore `none` and `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are null: the draft is the next change to watch, and no profile is invented for it. No Peppol Authority for Qatar was found, and no VAT identifier exists for a scheme to carry.

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.
