The Oman Tax Authority (‘OTA’) has recently issued a VAT guide in Arabic on “Charities and Non-Profit Organizations” explaining principles and rules applicable to Charities and NPOs. It is pertinent to note that the application of VAT requires a careful analysis of economic and non economic activities although there is no special tax treatment for charities and non-profit organizations. However, special exceptions such as tax exemption may be available.
