foreign participation and has relaxed
business regulations in Qatar .

In order to attract foreign investment in these sectors, Qatar offers a

wide range of incentives, including subsidized or nominal rates for gas
and electricity, no import duty on machinery, equipment and spare
parts for industrial projects, tax exemptions on corporate tax for pre-
determined periods and no export duty among others. Other benefits
include tax free salaries, excellent medical and educational facilities
and state-of-the-art telecommunication facilities.
