What this value means
Flat 10% corporate income tax on net taxable profits under Law No. 24 of 2018 (in force for tax years from 2019; the 10% headline rate itself dates to Law No. 21 of 2009, effective 2010, and was carried over unchanged). Scope is OWNERSHIP-BASED: tax applies to the share of profits attributable to FOREIGN ownership. Entities wholly owned by Qatari or GCC nationals (resident in Qatar) are generally EXEMPT; in a mixed-ownership company only the foreign partner's profit share is taxed. Qatar operates a territorial system (Qatar-source income). Exceptions to the 10%: a minimum 35% applies to petroleum operations and petrochemical activities, and specific agreements/QFC or free-zone regimes can differ.
