Awqaf ministry launches initiatives to recycle ablution water in two mosques

QNA Doha The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Engineering Affairs Department, launched two pilot projects to recycle ablution water in two mosques in Al Wakrah and Lusail. This project is part of its efforts to promote environmental sustainability and rationalise water consumption. The first project included the Qanbar Al Ansari Mosque (No. 1209) in Al Wakrah and was implemented in cooperation with the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) and Al Wakrah Municipality. The second project included the Al Kaldari Mosque (No. 1368) in Lusail, in cooperation with Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company. The two projects aim to treat ablution water inside the two mosques and reuse it to irrigate the surrounding green spaces, in addition to using it in flushing boxes in restrooms. This will contribute to reducing freshwater consumption, limiting waste, and increasing the efficiency of water resource use. The Engineering Affairs Department confirmed that this initiative is part of the ministry's plan to implement the water recycling experiment in a number of mosques under construction, in preparation for expanding its scope across the country. This initiative responds to the country's drive to adopt innovative environmental solutions and promote the transition to a green economy. The department explained that these efforts align with the ministry's vision to develop mosque infrastructure to meet modern requirements. They also contribute to achieving sustainable development goals and enhancing environmental awareness, in line with the pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030, particularly with regard to environmental development and the preservation of vital resources for future generations.

GTA extends tax certificate validity to ease compliance

Tribune News Network Doha The General Tax Authority (GTA) has announced an extension of the validity period for several key tax certificates, in a move aimed at simplifying tax-related procedures and offering greater support to taxpayers. As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the taxpayer experience, the GTA has extended the validity of the non-objection certificate (NOC) for change of ownership to 180 days, allowing taxpayers additional time to complete relevant transactions. In a significant digital services upgrade, the tax compliance certificate can now be issued through the Dhareeba tax portal, with its validity extended from one month to a full year. This certificate is a crucial document that confirms a taxpayer's compliance with all applicable tax obligations, helping facilitate smoother interactions with public and private entities and boosting investor confidence. The NOC for commercial registration cancellation and the disbursement of dues certificate have also seen an increase in their validity period to 90 days, reducing the need for reapplication and giving taxpayers more time to complete the required steps. The GTA emphasised that these updates are part of a broader commitment to service improvement and digital transformation. All updated certificates and related services are available through the Dhareeba platform, which continues to provide taxpayers with flexible, efficient tools for managing their tax affairs. These enhancements reflect the GTA's strategic objective to foster a more transparent, efficient, and investor-friendly tax environment in Qatar. By reducing administrative burdens and leveraging digital platforms, the Authority aims to further strengthen compliance and support the country's economic diversification goals in line with Qatar NationalVision 2030.
