† This figure rests on a PwC tax summary, not on the statute itself. The summary is the only source on file for it.
Each figure is the tax on one more unit of a very large amount of that income, with every layer the engine models: surtaxes and uncapped social contributions included. It is the top marginal rate, not the average rate you pay on all your income.

When do you become tax resident in Qatar?
The Qatar day test (More than 183 days or other residence routes): more than 183 days in the calendar year. The 2022 amendment replaced the 2018 law's rolling 12-month and vital-interest routes. Permanent home and Qatari nationality now remain separate routes; treaty and certificate decisions require separate facts.
Residence decides whether Qatar taxes you on these rates. See the Qatar day-count test and count your own days.
