Oman- February 3, 2021:

The Sultanate of Oman Tax Authority has announced the commencement of VAT registration from 1st February 2021 until 15th March 2021 for taxable persons with annual supplies exceeding or expected to exceed 1 million OMR. The voluntary registration will also be available for taxable persons with annual supplies or expenses exceeding or expected to exceed 19,250 OMR.

The registration must be made through the Oman Tax Authority’s Online Portal – www.taxoman.gov.om

Oman Tax Authority has released a list of ‘Manual Guides for VAT Registration’ explaining the registration requirements for business and individuals. It explains who is liable to register for VAT, and also explains the registration requirements in the period before the VAT Law is effective.

The Oman Tax Authority advises taxable persons to register for VAT within the preset deadlines to avoid any penalties levied on late registration.
