The General Tax Authority announces partnership with the Commercial Bank and The Qatar International Islamic Bank
The Memorandum of Understanding is signed to facilitate online payment methods for taxpayers
The General Tax Authority (GTA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Commercial Bank of Qatar (CBQ) and the Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) to facilitate the online payment methods between the banks and the General Tax Authority for the convenience of the taxpayers to assist them in paying taxes online using bank cards or direct transfer.
The two MoUs were signed at the headquarters of the General Tax Authority, Doha. The agreements were signed between Mr. Ghanim Khalifa Al-Attiyah, Assistant President for Tax Affairs, GTA; Mr. Khalifa Nasser Al-Rayes, EGM Government, Public Sector and Deputy Head of Wholesale Banking, CBQ and Mr. Ali Hamad Al-Mesaifri, Chief of Human Resources and Administration, QIIB.
Mr. Ghanim Al-Attiyah, Vice President for Tax Affairs at GTA, said: "In the pursuit of constantly enhancing the taxpayer's experience with the GTA, we are pleased to sign the agreements with renowned financial institutions, such as the Commercial Bank of Qatar and the Qatar International Islamic Bank. We aim to provide online payment access to our taxpayers, and the team at GTA has been working for several months with banks to establish the electronic link between the two parties. We will continue to work towards simplifying the tax payment procedures for the taxpayers and we
look forward to seeing our taxpayers making good use of the online services.".
He added: " We had recently signed MoU's with QNB, the Masraf Al Rayan Bank, Dukhan Bank, and Al Ahli Bank. We have chosen these banks because of their advanced infrastructure and technology, which makes it easier for the GTA to implement multiple payment facilities associated with the banks.”
The two MoUs signed between the GTA and the Commercial Bank of Qatar and Qatar International Islamic Bank focused on establishing digital link to provide the best innovative methods to pay or recover taxes from anywhere in the world. The GTA has provided the best electronic payment methods for the taxpayers, and they can now make payments through bank cards (credit/debit) or direct bank transfer.
Early last year, the GTA launched the Dhareeba tax portal to manage all taxpayers' tax operations digitally, and to be fully integrated with the "Hukoomi" platform. The Dhareeba tax portal www.dhareeba.qa manages, calculates, and reviews the various types of taxes and helps taxpayers know the procedures of their transactions electronically in a way that contributes to achieving better financial results for the State of Qatar. The electronic system ensures efficient taxation procedures that save time and effort for corporate taxpayers and the General Tax Authority, the most important of which are: issuing the tax card and appointing the taxpayer's representative. The Dhareeba system is now updated with new services, including the change of ownership, issuance of residency certificates, electronic registration, objections, and many other services that serve taxpayers and taxpayers representatives.
