Shop-floor control in Qatar
Qatar has no VAT law in force yet, so plants across the country invoice without VAT, and the system is ready to switch it on for each company when Qatar introduces it. An e-invoicing law has been approved, but dates have not been set, so the structured format will be applied once the rules are published. Sites in Ras Bufontas and Umm Alhoul operate under Qatar Free Zones licences and usually keep separate books from mainland plants. Accounts run in Qatari riyals, and calendars reflect the Friday-Saturday weekend at every site.
