Frequently asked questions
What is the VAT rate in Oman?
Oman's VAT rate is 5%, implemented on 16 April 2021 under Royal Decree 121/2020. The standard rate applies to most goods and services, with zero-rated supplies including exports outside the GCC, international transport, qualifying medicines, and investment-grade gold. Exempt supplies cover financial services, residential rentals, and education and healthcare in specific cases. Mandatory VAT registration applies above OMR 38,500 of annual taxable supplies; voluntary above OMR 19,250. The Oman Tax Authority (OTA) administers VAT.
What is the corporate tax rate in Oman?
Oman applies a 15% flat corporate income tax to most businesses (with a 3% reduced rate for SMEs meeting size criteria). Oil and gas companies pay 55% under specific concession agreements. Branches of foreign companies and Omani LLCs both fall under the 15% rate. Withholding tax of 10% applies on dividends, interest, royalties, and management fees paid to non-residents. The OTA administers corporate tax filings, due four months after year-end.

Vision 2040 is Oman's long-term economic diversification plan, aiming to reduce hydrocarbon dependence and grow non-oil sectors. Key fiscal initiatives include the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) consolidation, privatisation programs, the Madayn industrial estates, and the Special Economic Zones (Duqm, Salalah). Vision 2040 affects finance teams through Oman-In-Country-Value (ICV) mandates, Omanization quotas, and revised concession agreements. The Capital Market Authority (CMA) increasingly aligns disclosure with international standards.
Does Oman use IFRS?
Yes. Oman requires full IFRS for all listed companies on the Muscat Stock Exchange, banks, insurance, and large entities. The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) supervises banks under IFRS 9 with additional CBO loan classification and provisioning rules. Insurance companies apply IFRS 17 from 2023 reporting periods. Smaller entities may apply IFRS for SMEs. Islamic banks follow IFRS plus AAOIFI for Sharia-compliant products under the CBO Islamic Banking Regulatory Framework.
