Required formatNot published
TimelineLaw and executive regulations approved May 2026 · no go-live date

Who is in scope

Not defined. B2B/B2C/B2G split, thresholds and resident versus non-resident treatment are all unpublished.

Key dates

  • Jun 2020 Dhareeba tax portal goes live — the existing GTA infrastructure a future mandate would most likely build on.
  • 6 May 2026 Cabinet approves the draft e-invoicing law together with its executive regulations, drafted by the Ministry of Finance with the GTA. Covers electronic invoices and electronic credit and debit notes.
  • To be determined Enactment and publication in the Official Gazette, then GTA guidance on scope, technical specifications and phased go-live.
What practitioners get burned by

Approval is not enactment. This is a draft law approved by Cabinet; it still needs enactment and Gazette publication, and the executive regulations have not been published in final form. Any vendor page describing Qatar e-invoicing as "voluntary today with a phased rollout aligned to VAT" is inference — Qatar has no VAT law in force and the Cabinet statement makes no link to VAT. Minor sourcing wrinkle: the QNA Cabinet readout renders as "May 06, 2025" to automated scrapers while the URL parameter and all four Big-4 alerts say 6 May 2026; treat 6 May 2026 as correct.
