In December 2019, Qatar introduced new Executive Regulations, pursuant to the Income Tax Law No. (24) of 2018. The new Executive Regulations reinforce the adoption of the arm’s length principle in the taxation of related entities when they transact with each other.

Universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions (HEIs) have a crucial role to play in the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal Agenda. HEIs are mentioned specifically under SDG 4 on quality and inclusive education, but in fact their influence extends across all the goals through teaching and learning, research output, and campus initiatives.
Join us for a discussion about the role of HEIs in achieving the SDGs, including an information session on the UNESCO Chairs program.
