The General Tax Authority welcomed a student delegation from Mohammad Bin Abdulwahhab Independent Secondary School for Boys, accompanied by several teachers and administrative staff, as part of a visit aimed at introducing students to the role and efforts of the Authority in serving the nation and society.

During the visit, tax expert Mr. Omar Almatarnih delivered an awareness workshop titled "Taxes in the State of Qatar", designed to enrich students’ knowledge of taxation and enhance their understanding of the country’s tax system.

This workshop was organized as part of the Authority’s commitment to raising tax awareness among students by familiarizing them with its operations, the types of taxes implemented in Qatar, their application mechanisms, and the stages of their development. Serving to bridge academic knowledge with real-world practice, it deepens students’ appreciation of the vital role taxes play in supporting the national economy.

The initiative aligns with the inclusion of taxation as a topic within the secondary school curriculum and as a minor specialization at Qatar University, underscoring the importance of embedding tax awareness at an early educational stage and encouraging students to engage positively with issues of development and civic responsibility.

The visit also provided students with the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the working environment of a key government institution, broadening their career perspectives and enhancing their understanding of the GTA’s role in ensuring financial stability and contributing to economic development.

This visit falls within the broader framework of strengthening cooperation between educational institutions and government entities, with the aim of raising students' awareness of public sector bodies' work and their contributions to national progress. It also seeks to promote a culture of taxation and instill principles of tax compliance among future generations.
