Methodology & sources

Methodology - Qatar (2026)

Educational monthly model for tax year 2026 (annual = month x 12), currency QAR - not a payroll system, not a tax return, not tax advice. Qatar levies no personal income tax on salaries; take-home is reduced only by social-insurance contributions, and whether any deduction applies depends on the worker's nationality. Some 2026 figures are provisional: the GRSIA rates and the QAR 100,000 contribution-wage ceiling are set by the 2022 law and administrative decision - confirm against the current GRSIA circular.

Employment

  • No personal income tax on salaries (the Income Tax Law No. 24 of 2018 taxes business profits, not wages).
  • Qatari / GCC nationals - GRSIA: under the private-sector extension (Social Insurance Law No. 1 of 2022, effective 3 January 2023) the employee pays a 7% pension / retirement contribution and the employer pays 14%, both on a contribution wage capped at QAR 100,000/month.
  • Expats: no social-insurance deduction - net equals gross. Instead the employer owes an End of Service Gratuity (EOSG) of at least 3 weeks of basic wage per year of service (Labour Law No. 14 of 2004, Art. 54). EOSG is an employer accrual, never subtracted from take-home.
  • No VAT is in force in 2026 (the GCC VAT Framework is not yet domestically enacted), so no VAT line is modelled.

Self-employed

  • A business-income model with no personal income tax on personal income.
  • Qatari / GCC nationals registered as self-employed contribute to GRSIA on a chosen insured wage (the same rate structure and ceiling as employment).
  • Expats have no GRSIA cover - net equals gross.
  • No VAT is in force in 2026, so no VAT line is modelled.
