Qatar Tax System?

[fedot12345]

Hmm... Perhaps I don't think it's a bug and feature request page is blocked so I'm just going to raise this error here.

Just before I start, if you are wondering why am I raising this when I don't even have an airline in Qatar in any GW out there. Well I don't even know myself why but lets skip that and move on to the issue.

Qatar in AWS has a 29% income tax for some reason whereas in reality that it's actually one of not many countries in the world that has no tax for individuals and companies (in some cases). There are other countries in this game that have the incorrect tax rates but I haven't done a massive research on that yet.

"Income from agriculture and fishing and air and sea transport companies"
"Qatari natural persons in the State"

Those two examples show here and on the website that if you open up an airline for instance in Qatar which is AWS is all about, the company (airline in this case) doesn't have to pay any taxes what so ever to the government no matter where you are from (not modeled in this game). So can this error be sorted out by the time a new GW of any kind opens please?

Thank you

Tax rate is 10% in the master database for this country.

The game you referred to has probably older database revision.

Yea I did get the 29% from GW 3 where I am currently.
Either way 10% flat tax is only applied if you are a foreigner opening up an oil industry or something else. What I am saying is if you are from Qatar and you have a company of any kind or, if you are a foreigner that has a specific business type listed above then the company is entitled to tax exemption.

So in other words the company won't have to pay a penny to the government regardless of the owner/director if you open up an airline in Qatar.

Qatar is scumbaggy enough in real life, no reason why that dunghole should be imported 1:1 into the game.

[fedot12345]

Well at least they are the hosts of Fifa 2022 World Cup 

At least it will be another place that will be tax-free in AWS.

Well if you are that bothered about Qatar tax rate being imported 1:1 then let's make this topic for every country then. Let's post any country here, that has the wrong tax rate compared to reality and show what is it's actual income tax rate with evidence so then sami can update the tax rates a a whole rather than each individually.

The correct rate has been adjusted to master database, effective if any future games.

http://www.kpmg.com/global/en/services/tax/tax-tools-and-resources/pages/corporate-tax-rates-table.aspx is a good resource to check the tax rates, under Qatar it says 10% but if you expand it says it only applies to foreign entities and that it is 0% for others.

Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates .


Some of AWS tax rates are wrong in GW3 , such as:
(from KPMG)(Game year 2013, KPMG tax year 2014 which only matters in some cases such as Albania which went from 20% to 10% back to 15%)

Afghanistan AWS 35% KPMG 20% (has additional tax on revenue of 2-10%)
Albania AWS 35% KPMG 15%
Armenia AWS 29% KPMG 20%
Bahamas AWS 29% KPMG 0%
Belarus AWS 30% KPMG 18%
Bermuda AWS 29% KPMG 0%
Bolivia AWS 29% KPMG 25%
Botswana AWS 32% KPMG 22%
Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba AWS 29% KPMG 20-25%(Caribbean Netherlands )
Cayman Islands AWS 29% KPMG 0%
Isle of Man (Separate from rest in tax rates) AWS Uk tax of 30% KPMG 10%
Macau AWS 29% KPMG 12%
Oman AWS 29% KPMG 12%
Paraguay AWS 29% KPMG 10% effective rate of 25,46 percent
Vanuatu AWS 29% KPMG 0%


This is just a sample, I did not go through every nation available in there.

I have no clue how you found this but it looks pretty useful.
