Doha, Qatar: The General Tax Authority (GTA) announced that it is receiving taxpayers at its headquarters to provide information, and answer inquires related to the Financial Penalty Exemption Initiative, in addition to submitting the Simplified Tax Return. This is part of the Authority’s ongoing efforts to facilitate procedures, reduce burdens, and enhance levels of voluntary compliance.

The Authority clarified that this initiative will continue Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays each week, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, until August 31, 2025, at the General Tax Authority Tower. It noted that this step is part of a broader plan aimed at improving the taxpayers’ experience and providing more efficient and flexible services.

The Financial Penalty Exemption Initiative is a distinctive initiative aimed at enabling taxpayers to settle their tax status by exempting them from penalties resulting from delays in registration, filing returns, or paying dues. This initiative grants a 100% exemption from financial penalties until August 31, 2025, subject to a set of terms and conditions.
