Why now

Excel and Word invoices will not survive the mandate

The law asks for structured, numbered, tamper-evident documents. A spreadsheet is none of those.

English-only tools break Arabic

Arabic is expected to be mandatory on every e-invoice. Most SME software treats it as an afterthought.

Saudi-first vendors treat Qatar as “coming soon”

We already run the same clearance model live in Saudi Arabia, and built the Qatar side on it.

What you get

Bilingual invoices

Arabic, English or both side by side, with your TIN, QR-ready, immutable after issue.

Quotes, credit notes, recurring

Every document a trading company, clinic or agency sends — numbered in one sequence.

POS and cash drawer

Walk-in sales as simplified invoices, shift open and close, cash reconciled.

Get paid faster

Invoices on WhatsApp, Tap Payments links (QPay, cards, Apple Pay), bank statement import.

Multi-branch, roles

Cashier, manager, admin; every branch in one account; plans differ by branches and invoices a month.

E-invoicing built in

UBL 2.1 XML, hash chain, archive and export today; live GTA submission the day the spec is published.

Where Qatar stands

  1. 2026-05-06

    Cabinet approves the draft e-invoicing law and executive regulations.

  2. Pending

    Shura Council review, Amiri assent, Gazette publication.

  3. Pending

    GTA publishes the technical specification, format and API.

  4. Expected 2027

    Phased go-live, large taxpayers first (analysts' expectation, not official).

No vendor can be GTA-certified today, because the specification does not exist. What we promise: your documents are already in the structure every Gulf authority uses, and live submission is switched on for every customer the day the GTA publishes. Status last reviewed 2026-10-20.

Questions

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Qatar yet?

Not yet. The Cabinet approved the draft law on 6 May 2026; no go-live date or technical specification has been published. We track it on this page.

Are you GTA compliant?

Nobody can be yet. Our platform runs the same clearance model live with ZATCA in Saudi Arabia, and Qatar documents are already numbered, chained and archived in that structure. We will complete whatever accreditation the GTA defines, the day it defines it.

Can I invoice in Arabic only?

Yes — Arabic, English or bilingual, per customer or per document.

Do you integrate with my accounting software?

Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, Xero, WooCommerce, bank statements (CSV, MT940), WhatsApp and Tap Payments today, plus a REST API with webhooks. More ERP connectors are in pilot with first customers — tell us which you use.
