Palestinian corporate law

This article covers legislation concerning incorporation of legal persons in the Republic of Palestine according to domestic corporate law. Because of Palestine's strong common law tradition, these classifications developed organically over time through a series of bills passed by the Palestine Arab Congress. The State Revenue Committee is the agency responsible for administering corporate law in Palestine.
