New tax regulations for Qatar were published in the Official Gazette recently, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance issued guidance to apply the withholding tax system on the payments as follows:
Payments made for services performed wholly or partly in Qatar are subject to withholding tax. If any work necessary to complete the service is carried out in Qatar, the service will be considered as performed partly in Qatar. A 5% withholding tax is levied payments for royalties, technical fees and management fees. Any other payment attracts a withholding tax of 7%.
The domestic rates must be withheld even where a tax treaty applies. A non-resident entity recipient of payments subject to withholding tax in Qatar may submit a request to the Tax Department to apply the treaty provisions and obtain a refund of the tax withheld.
