India and Qatar signed a new income tax treaty on 18 February 2025. The treaty will become effective upon the exchange of ratification instruments and once in effect, will supersede the 1999 tax treaty between the two countries.
This announcement was made by Qatar General Tax Authority on 19 February 2025.
The agreement includes provisions related to tax transactions in several areas, including maritime and air transport, joint ventures, as well as dividends, interest, royalties, and technical service fees. It also aims to enhance tax transparency at both international and local levels through the exchange of information for tax purposes, which contributes to preventing tax evasion and strengthening cooperation between the two countries.
