FAQ

Finance & compliance questions answered

01 — Do I need accounting if my business is small?

Yes. All companies in Qatar must maintain compliant financial records regardless of size. Even low-activity companies must remain audit-ready.

02 — Is IFRS mandatory in Qatar?

Yes. Most Mainland and QFC entities are required to maintain IFRS-aligned financial records, particularly for tax filings and audits.

03 — What is Dhareeba?

Dhareeba is Qatar’s official tax portal. All corporate tax filings and submissions are made through this system and must align with your financial records.

04 — What happens if I don’t file correctly?

Incorrect or late filings can result in penalties, restrictions and potential issues with licence renewals.

05 — How often do I need to submit financial reports?

Internally, reporting should be done monthly. Tax filings are typically annual, but must be supported by accurate monthly records.

06 — Do I need to be audited?

Many companies are required to complete annual audits, particularly QFC entities and higher-turnover Mainland businesses.

07 — Can you manage my payroll as well?

Yes. We manage payroll in line with the Wage Protection System (WPS), ensuring compliance with labour and banking requirements.

08 — What is WPS and why does it matter?

WPS is the government-mandated salary system linking your bank and the Ministry. All salaries must match registered contracts.

09 — Will proper accounting help with banking?

Yes. Clean financial records are critical for opening accounts, maintaining relationships and accessing credit facilities.

10 — What records do I need to provide each month?

Typically:

Bank statements
Invoices
Expense records

We structure this into a simple monthly process.

11 — Can I do this myself instead of using a service?

You can, but most businesses struggle to maintain compliance with local standards and deadlines. Errors can lead to penalties and operational issues.

12 — What happens if my records are currently disorganised?

We can restructure and clean your financial records, bringing your business back into compliance and establishing a proper system going forward.
