Criteria announced for Oman’s E-Invoicing pilot program

E-Invoicing Requirement: Oman has introduced mandatory e-invoicing for all VAT-registered businesses, effective from January 1, 2026, as part of its broader tax modernization efforts aimed at improving compliance and enhancing revenue collection.
Implementation Phases: The e-invoicing system will be rolled out in phases, beginning with larger businesses, to ensure a gradual transition. The government plans to provide necessary support and guidance to help businesses adapt to the new requirements.
Compliance and Integration: Businesses must ensure their systems are integrated with the tax authority’s platform for real-time invoice submission. This shift to e-invoicing is expected to streamline tax processes, reduce paperwork, and increase overall efficiency in tax compliance.
