Tax residency
Hard to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- has a permanent home in the State of Qatar during the year
- has resided in the State of Qatar consecutively or intermittently for more than 183 days during a year
- holds Qatari nationality (Qatari national is treated as resident regardless of place of residence)
