Taxation in Qatar

"There are two separate tax regimes in operation in Qatar and an entity is under the remit of only one regime.

By default an entity is under the State of Qatar regime.

Alternatively, an entity is under the remit of the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) regime if the entity is licensed with the QFC."

Another example is the cogntive status quo bias to favour pre-existing conditions or choices, whatever they are.
