Qatar's GTA refers 13 companies to the Public Prosecution for tax evasion
Doha, Qatar: The General Tax Authority (GTA) announced the referral of 13 companies to the Public Prosecution. This action came after these companies were implicated in tax evasion amounting to roughly QR36 million. The referral of these companies, throughout the first half of 2025, is the result of detailed investigations conducted by the GTA's competent units, working alongside relevant government authorities. These investigations uncovered significant tax irregularities, including instances where the companies intentionally concealed their true earnings. This measure comes as part of the GTA's commitment to the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030, specifically the pursuit of financial stability through enhanced tax system efficiency and universal adherence to responsibilities by all economic actors. The GTA said the action was essential for the protection of public resources and the attainment of tax justice, and that the ongoing effort to combat tax evasion is integral to diversifying income resources by cultivating a resilient and sustainable financial system that underpins economic diversification and bolsters the state's ability to fund extensive development projects and realize balanced economic growth. In clarifying the matter, the General Tax Authority confirmed that the companies referred to the Public Prosecution are officially registered in Qatar. It further stated that the necessary legal measures have been taken against these entities, in line with the provisions of the Income Tax Law (Law No. 24 of 2018), which explicitly criminalizes fraudulent activities and tax evasion. Consequently, the General Tax Authority urged all taxpayers to adhere to the legally mandated deadlines for submitting transparent and accurate tax returns. It also emphasizes its ongoing commitment to combat tax evasion, a financial offense with detrimental effects on the national economy, and to apply tax laws equitably to all. These efforts aim to enhance the business environment and contribute to sustainable development in the State of Qatar. The General Tax Authority, through its various departments, affirmed it will continue to work towards fostering a stronger culture of voluntary compliance and building greater public trust in the tax system, with the goal being to increase compliance rates, reduce evasion, and thereby prevent legal repercussions. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution.

Al Ain man buys vehicle for Dhs11,500 but pays only Dhs300, court tells him to pay remaining amount
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases obligated a person to pay Dhs11,200 to another for abstaining from settling the remaining price of a vehicle already delivered to him. The defendant paid only Dhs300 although he had an agreement with the plaintiff to buy the vehicle for a specific sum of money. Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit in which he requested the court to obligate the defendant to pay him Dhs11,200 plus Dhs3,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms and the legal expenses and fees. The plaintiff pleaded that pursuant to an agreement between them, he sold the vehicle subject of the lawsuit to the defendant for Dhs11,500 but the latter paid only Dhs300 and refused to pay the remainder despite the expiry of the agreed-upon period. This caused him material and moral harms and prompted him to file this lawsuit to obtain a verdict in his favour, he said. To support his lawsuit, the plaintiff submitted a copy of the sales contract. After reviewing the case, the court was hereby satisfied that the plaintiff was entitled to what he was requesting, especially since the defendant did not dispute the validity of the debt and did not present anything that contradicted the related documents. Based on this, the court ruled that the plaintiff's requests be fulfilled and the remaining amount stated in the sales contract be paid. As far as the compensation claim was concerned, the court stated that according to Article 292 of the Civil Transactions Law, compensation should cover both the actual loss suffered by the victim and any loss of profit, provided that these are a direct consequence of the harmful act. As the plaintiff, with whom the burden of proof lies, neither explained the nature of the harms nor the losses he sustained as a result of what the defendant did, the court hereby rejected this claim as it stood.
