Peppol
No national Peppol Authority is listed for Qatar, so OpenPeppol acts as the authority.

GTA has described an e-invoicing project, but that announcement does not set an implementation schedule. Confirm the current rules and buyer's delivery requirements before integrating. OpenPeppol lists no national authority for Qatar; using Peppol by agreement does not replace tax filing through Dhareeba. Check the GTA laws page for implementing legislation.
