E-invoicing status in Qatar
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Qatar?
The situation
Not yet. The Council of Ministers approved a draft e-invoicing law on 6 May 2026.
The law
- Draft e-invoicing law and executive regulations approved by the Council of Ministers on 6 May 2026: Draft only; needs Shura review and Amiri issue; no binding go-live date published
What it means for you
The draft still needs Shura review, Amiri issue and Official Gazette publication. Commentators expect a phased start from 2027 with large taxpayers first, but no date is confirmed.
What to do
- Track the law.
- Review ERP capability.
- Budget for 2027.
- Wait for specs.
