- Oman’s Tax Authority is launching Fawtara, a mandatory national e-invoicing system built on the PEPPOL framework, with live ASP registration already available.
- Phase 1 starts in August 2026 for 100 selected large taxpayers; Phase 2 begins in February 2027 for all other large taxpayers, and Phase 3 in August 2027 will cover remaining taxpayers, including SMEs.
- Fawtara will require invoices to be created and transmitted in structured digital form in real time, replacing paper invoices with legally valid e-invoices only.
- The system aims to reduce fraud, improve VAT compliance and transparency, and automate invoicing and record-keeping.
- Non-compliance will be penalized after a grace period, but the exact penalty schedule has not yet been published.
