Shop-floor control in Lusail
Head offices in Lusail usually manage several entities, and Qatar has no VAT in force yet, so none of them charges VAT today. The system is ready to switch VAT on for each company when Qatar introduces it. An e-invoicing law has been approved without dates, so invoice formats will be adjusted when the rules are published. Plants in Qatar Free Zones such as Umm Alhoul operate under their own licences and can be kept as separate companies. Accounts run in Qatari riyals, and the Friday-Saturday weekend is reflected in plant calendars.
