Document background
The Bill of Sale Receipt is a fundamental commercial document used in Qatar to formalize and document the transfer of ownership in sale transactions. This document type is essential for compliance with Qatar's Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004) and Commercial Code (Law No. 27 of 2006), which govern commercial transactions and property transfers. It serves multiple purposes: providing proof of purchase, documenting ownership transfer, and meeting legal documentation requirements. The document is commonly used in both consumer and business transactions, ranging from vehicle sales to equipment purchases. It must include specific information to be legally valid in Qatar, such as party details, property description, price, and transfer declarations. For high-value transactions or certain types of property, additional requirements such as witness signatures or notarization may apply. The Bill of Sale Receipt plays a crucial role in establishing clear ownership rights and preventing future disputes regarding the transaction.
