Corporate tax, VAT and the ledger

Corporate tax Reporting from Your ERP in Qatar

Corporate tax is declared from the financial statements, and the financial statements come from the ledger. If the chart of accounts and the year-end close are designed for it, the declaration is a report; if not, it is a spreadsheet exercise every year. We configure the ledger for Corporate tax with your advisers.

  • Chart of accounts designed so Corporate tax base items are visible without reclassification
  • Year-end close and statements the declaration draws on
  • Mixed Qatari and foreign ownership handled in the structure
  • Audit trail and supporting schedules for assessments

Corporate tax is a ledger design problem before it is a tax problem

Companies owned by Qatari and GCC nationals are subject to Corporate tax; those with foreign ownership are subject to income tax on that share, and mixed companies to both in proportion. Corporate tax is calculated on a base derived from the balance sheet, broadly capital and reserves and certain liabilities less deductible assets, with adjustments the regulations define. The declaration is filed with the authority together with financial statements. None of that is done in the ERP, but all of it depends on what the ERP can show.

We design the chart of accounts and the closing process so the items the Corporate tax base uses are visible: capital, retained earnings, provisions, long-term liabilities, fixed assets and investments, in the classifications your advisers need. Multi-entity groups get the structure per entity. The ERP holds the schedules and the audit trail so an assessment query is answered from the system. The calculation itself and the declaration are performed with your tax advisers; we make sure the numbers behind it are trustworthy. VAT is handled separately; see VAT software and e-invoicing.

Why businesses pick us

Partner on four platforms, not one

We are a Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext and ManageEngine partner and also implement Salesforce. If Zoho, Odoo and ERPNext is the wrong fit for the problem you described, we will say so before you buy licences rather than after.

Arabic and English in one system

Interface, documents and reports in both, which matters when the team works in Arabic and management reads reports in English.

Configured for Qatari practice

Invoicing workflows configurable around GTA e-invoicing, VAT treatment set at entry, and payroll outputs shaped for WPS and GRSIA.

We stay after go-live

The first month-end close surfaces everything the scoping missed. Most of the real value of an implementation is delivered in those weeks.

A team in Doha, not a ticket queue

Consultants you can meet, in your timezone and your working week, who scoped the project and then configured it.

We will tell you not to buy

If the problem is your data or your process rather than your software, a new licence will not fix it. We say that early.

Organisations we have worked with

A selection of the organisations we have delivered ERP and business software work for, across finance, healthcare, trading, logistics and professional services.
