1)Tax exemption is only applicable if you have brought the car in any GCC and imported to the country in your name. That means you have already paid the tax in one of GCC and you don’t need to pay it again.
This exemption is void if you import in someone else name or any other country other than GCC. All cars are taxed at 5% of the evaluated cost by Qatar customs.
2) RTA is Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai. Inspection is required in Dubai prior to exporting and it is not a requirement in Qatar. Qatar traffic department will evaluate the car prior to registration. However no cars older than 5years allowed. You need to repair, even the slightest dent or paint damage, prior to registration.
3) As far as I know the person importing the car (for personal use) must own the car. When I imported the car I got an export certificate from UAE, which states that I own the car. This export certificate is required in Qatar. You need to check with clearance agents the exact procedure. I imported the car without Qatari Resident Permit. However you need that to register or make a sale later. You can import car without residence permit but you cannot use it.
4) I lost the number of person who did clearance for me. There are shipping clearing agents near old airport. You can go to any of the shipping agents shops near old airport (service road where Tayseer, Suzuki showroom is located) and check in one of the shops. If they don’t do, ask for some reference. You need to get a shipping agent for clearance in Doha port.
