Qatar is one of the least taxable countries in the world; there is no tax on personal income in Qatar. Businesses receive an annual fixed tax rate of 10 per cent of the company’s total income. Capital gains arising from the sale of real estate and/or securities derived by an individual are exempt from tax provided the asset is not part of a taxable activity (i.e. trade)
Tax exemptions apply to:
•    Profits and revenues on Public Treasury Bonds, Development Bonds, and Public Corporation Bonds
•    Dividends and other income from shares 
•    Small handcraft businesses 
•    Income of companies operating in agriculture, fisheries, aerial, and maritime transportation, on condition of reciprocity
•    Income tax on foreign capital for a period not exceeding 10 years from the date of operation of an investment project.
