WhatsApp quotePut simply, many of our clients add a Qatar entity to their UAE structure because Qatar pairs well with a UAE entity for groups serving both markets. The tax position in Qatar is clear: 10% corporate tax on foreign-owned profits, no VAT yet. From day one, the most common businesses Slovaks open through GoldenKey are in automotive, IT services, hospitality and engineering, although Qatar supports almost any activity. Slovaks are a small community in automotive, IT and hospitality, so the Qatar authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovak applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Qatar
Importantly, requirements for a Qatar company are QFC and free zone entities allow 100% foreign ownership, mainland LLCs may need a Qatari partner outside approved sectors and registered office in Qatar. Documents for Qatar are collected and attested in the UAE where required, so you do not need to travel for incorporation. As we tell every client, many Slovak founders run Qatar companies alongside an existing business in Slovakia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Why the UAE
In short, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a Qatar company for Slovaks. As we tell every client, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for a Qatar company for Slovaks and makes international pricing simple.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Qatar to incorporate?
In most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Qatar require a video or in-person meeting.
How does Qatar compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey usually recommends the UAE as the operating base and Qatar where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
Can my UAE company own the Qatar company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
Can a Slovak citizen own 100% of a company in Qatar?
Yes, it can. Slovaks can own the full share capital of a Qatar company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Slovakia and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Slovakia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
