General Tax Authority Signs MoUs With Qatar University, QFBA to Boost Tax Professional Training

The General Tax Authority has signed two Memoranda of Cooperation with Qatar University and Qatar Finance and Business Academy as part of efforts to strengthen professional training and qualification in the tax field.

The first agreement was signed by HE Khalifa bin Jassim Al-Jaham Al-Kuwari, President of the General Tax Authority, and Dr Khalifa Al-Salahi Al-Yafei, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Finance and Business Academy.

The Authority also signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Qatar University, represented by Ghanim bin Khalifa Al-Attiyah, Assistant President of the General Tax Authority for Tax Affairs, and Professor Dr Ibrahim Mohammed Al-Kaabi, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at Qatar University.

The partnerships will support the development of the "Tax Specialist" programme and help strengthen the readiness and capabilities of professionals to keep pace with developments in the tax sector.

They also aim to expand cooperation between the Authority and academic and professional institutions, facilitate the exchange of expertise and knowledge, and support the development of qualified national human capital capable of meeting labour market needs.

Participating entities will be able to contribute to the delivery and further development of the "Tax Specialist" Certificate programme.

The initiative is intended to help qualify and certify specialists capable of providing tax services and advisory support in accordance with the regulations, rules and instructions approved by the General Tax Authority.

The Authority said the partnerships would also support higher standards of professional practice while promoting efficiency, transparency and compliance in services provided to taxpayers.

As part of its longer-term plans, the General Tax Authority intends to make the "Tax Specialist" Certificate available to a broader range of individuals seeking careers in taxation.

At a later stage, the programme is also expected to be opened to other national educational institutions, with the aim of encouraging Qatari youth to pursue careers in taxation and helping meet growing demand for specialised professionals across the Authority and other sectors in Qatar.

The General Tax Authority said sustainable partnerships with educational and professional institutions remain an important part of advancing professional qualification, responding to labour market needs and supporting Qatar's economic development.
