Setting Up a Company in Qatar
Investing in Qatar
Setting up a company in Qatar usually means taking on a Qatari partner - and, in theory at least, giving up to 51% of your business to that partner. In practice 51% of the profits do not have to be paid to the Qatari partner, and companies can choose to use a partner such as Links Qatar: a company specialising in providing services and partnership for foreign companies setting up in the UK.
There are a number of industries where companies can invest directly into Qatar without having a partner. These industries include:
Agriculture
Manufacturing
Health
Education
Tourism
Power and Projects
For more information about Qatar companies and setting up a company in Qatar visit the Qatar Companies on Qatar's Yellow Business Pages Directory.

Investment Incentives
Reasons for Investing in Qatar
The status of Qatar as one of the richest countries in the world as well as its huge natural resources has encouraged investment from companies both big and small. Qatar is also aiming to encourage direct foreign investment in the country through a number of strategies:
Qatar has revamped its legal system since the accession of the current Amir to make the business and investment environment more amenable to foreign investment and companies.
In addition to a reasonable tax system which sees zero personal income taxes, companies can enjoy tax incentives and tax holidays when setting up in Qatar.
Companies investing via the Qatar Financial Center can enjoy a low ten percent rate of tax as well as 100% ownership of their enterprises.
