- Oman’s Tax Authority has issued Decision No. 189/2026, making electronic invoicing mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses starting in April 2027.
- The goal is to improve tax compliance, transparency, and digitization of the tax system.
- Valid e-invoices must be issued, transmitted, and archived in an approved secure XML format; paper invoices, PDFs, and emailed images will not count.
- Rollout will happen in two phases: April 1, 2027 for businesses with annual supplies above OMR 5 million, and October 1, 2027 for those below OMR 5 million.
- A pilot with 100 voluntary companies begins at the end of August 2026, using accredited service providers for near real-time invoice exchange and verification.
