MSDF Organizes Tax Awareness Workshop in Cooperation with General Tax Authority - GTA

The Ministry of Social Development and Family (MSDF), represented by the Family Empowerment Department, organized a tax awareness workshop in collaboration with the General Tax Authority (GTA). Held at Building 15 in the Cultural Village – Katara, the workshop aligns with the Ministry's initiatives to support Home-Grown projects. It aims to educate project owners about their tax responsibilities and familiarize them with the country’s tax regulations. Additionally, the workshop seeks to equip participants with practical guidance on managing tax affairs effectively to enhance compliance and contribute to the growth of their businesses. 

The workshop covered key topics such as an overview of the General Tax Authority, the steps required for registration on the electronic tax portal, and guidance on submitting simplified tax returns for Home-Grown project owners. Participants were also informed about the financial penalties for non-compliance and the procedure for submitting tax exemption applications. 

Ms. Fatima Al Nuaimi, Director of the Family Empowerment Department at the Ministry, commented: “At the Ministry of Social Development and Family, we are committed to fully supporting the owners of Home-Grown projects and enhancing their contribution to the local economy. These initiatives aim to foster a culture of sustainability and encourage individuals and families to transition from consumption to production.” 

She added that the Ministry continues to organize training courses and workshops in collaboration with relevant authorities to develop the skills of project owners. By helping them present their products in line with local market demands, these efforts reinforce their active participation and highlight their valuable contributions to the nation’s progress. 

Owners of Home-Grown projects expressed their appreciation for the Ministry's support, emphasizing that Qatari society increasingly values national products. They attributed the success of their projects to the Ministry's strong support, including the promotion and showcasing of their work at various events.

The Ministry reiterated its commitment to supporting Home-Grown projects in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030, which aspires to achieve social development, self-sufficiency, and improved quality of life while ensuring a dignified standard of living for all citizens.
