The General Tax Authority, through the implementation of the Dhareeba Portal, executes company formation in Qatar in an effective manner. Dhareeba is an advanced electronic system that acts as a bridge connecting the General Tax Authority, tax payers and the government bodies involved.

• Dhareeba’s Core Functionality
  Dhareeba facilitates tax registration for companies engaged in any economic activity within Qatar. This includes entities that are exempted fully or partially from taxes including special entities that need to claim refunds. The portal helps to ensure that businesses comply with the requisite tax obligations at the very beginning, which is very important in the process of company registration. In failing to register in the correct manner, there may be consequences in terms of fines and unnecessary setbacks in the acquisition of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and tax card.
• Registration and Compliance
  The GTA mandates that the firms should complete a registration on Dhareeba in order to obtain a tax identification number, TIN, which is a prerequisite for any tax-related processes. In order to access Dhareeba, companies must first obtain a National Authentication System, NAS, account. Supporting documents needed for registration include a copy of the commercial permit for businesses registered with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI). The user-friendly system design allows applicants to save their progress and submit their registration within 14 days, if not canceled automatically.
• Role of GTA Tax Officers
  GTA tax officers monitor the registration applications submitted through Dhareeba. They analyze the applications submitted, confirm the particulars, and dispense a TIN upon approval. In cases of contradictions or missing data, the officers may ask for additional information. The officer’s role makes sure that only compliant and well documented entities receive approval, protecting the integrity of the tax system.
