VAT Registration in Oman

Timely VAT registration helps companies avoid penalties, maintain transparency, and operate smoothly under Omani tax regulations.
At Albatel Certified Public Accountants, we support businesses with professional VAT advisory and registration services, ensuring accurate documentation and full compliance.
What is VAT in Oman?
VAT is an indirect tax applied to most goods and services in Oman at a standard rate set by the authorities. It is collected by businesses on behalf of the government and submitted to the Oman Tax Authority.
Registered businesses must charge VAT on taxable supplies, issue proper tax invoices, and submit periodic VAT returns.
Who Needs to Register for VAT in Oman?
VAT registration depends on your business turnover:
Mandatory Registration
Businesses must register for VAT if their annual taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set by the authorities.
Voluntary Registration
Companies with lower turnover may choose voluntary registration to enhance credibility and recover input VAT.
Professional assessment helps determine whether your business qualifies for mandatory or voluntary registration.
Documents Required for VAT Registration
To complete VAT registration, businesses usually need:
Commercial registration certificate
