GTA — Qatar e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Qatar

No Qatar data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Qatar support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Qatar's e-invoicing mandate runs through the GTA, the General Tax Authority, on its own e-Invoice System. The authority requires real-time invoice reporting for VAT purposes.

What supporting Qatar would involve

System	e-Invoice System (GTA)
Authority	GTA — General Tax Authority
Format	A national XML/JSON schema. No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today.
Transmission	Submission to the GTA platform. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.

Inherited, unverified

Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.

• Mandatory for all businesses since 2021, with continuous real-time reporting.
• VAT rate cited as 0% / 15%.
• Digital signature required at submission.
• Archive retention 6 years.

Which catalogues a contributor would add

Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Qatar.

• country-policy/data/qa.json — which document actions Qatar allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
• country-identifiers/data/qa.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
• tax/tax-systems/data/qa.json and vat-rates/data/qa.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
• correction-routes/data/qa.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
• b2g-routing/data/qa.json — the channel and format a public buyer in Qatar requires.
• transports/channel-policy/data/qa.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Qatar, and from what date.
• archive/retention/data/qa.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.

Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.

Data alone will not finish the job here: the GTA platform is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and its schema has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want Qatar supported?

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Qatar, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Qatar".
